"Texturologie" is a 1958 work by the French artist Jean Dubuffet. It is an example of Dubuffet's "Art Brut" style, which emphasizes raw, unrefined materials and techniques. The work's surface is covered in a dense field of small, irregular dots in various shades of brown, creating a textured, almost tactile effect. Dubuffet was interested in exploring the beauty found in everyday materials and the power of art to challenge traditional aesthetic values. This piece is a testament to his fascination with the materiality of art and its ability to create a visceral experience for the viewer.
