Terre agitee 1959

Jean Dubuffet made this print, *Terre Agitee*, using lithography. It’s a brown field punctuated by splatters and dots. You can almost feel the artist’s hand at play. Maybe he was thinking of the earth, raw and untamed, when making it? I imagine him in his studio, experimenting with textures, maybe throwing ink at the stone, and seeing what emerges, like some sort of alchemy. It reminds me of my own studio practice, where I often embrace chance and let the material guide the way. Think of it as a conversation between the artist, the medium, and the world around them. And just like that, the exchange of ideas goes on and on, with one artist building upon the discoveries of another. This print embodies that spirit of exploration and reminds us to stay open to the unexpected.
