By separating the high-keyed hues from their traditional figurative values, Dubuffet adopts a distinctly Fauvist note, continuing the traditions of his fellow countryman Henri Matisse.⠀ .⠀ From smoothing out thick smears of pigment with a palette knife to delicately using the wooden end of his paintbrush to score the man's features, the full range of Dubuffet's artistic alchemy is on display in this one canvas.⠀ .⠀ In the case of the present work, his dazzling use of color continues his non-academic approach to artmaking. He wanted his paintings to appeal to everyone, not just the sophisticated 'art-set', and so his unique approach to both color and materials served those ends just as much as his distinct and naïve style.⠀ .⠀ Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985), 'Le Président', 1945.
