Jean Dubuffet at his studio in Vence 1966.

In his Vence studio in 1966, Jean Dubuffet looks away from the camera with a pensive expression, a cigarette in his right hand. Dressed in a paint-splattered work jacket over a striped, collared shirt, he is framed by an abstract artwork on the wall—a maze-like pattern of thick white lines against a dark background. To the right, jars and tins hold a variety of paintbrushes on a cluttered surface. The grainy black and white photograph creates a strong sense of texture and a contemplative mood.
