Jean Dubuffet at his studio in Vence 1966.

In his Vence studio in 1966, Jean Dubuffet stands with a contemplative expression, holding a cigarette. Dressed in a dark jacket over a striped, collared shirt, he is surrounded by his work. On the light-colored walls behind him hang two abstract, black and white artworks featuring bold, maze-like lines that create complex, biomorphic forms. To his right, a table is covered with art supplies, including several containers filled with paintbrushes.
