Lot Essay

"You will no longer find any object or figure in these paintings – nothing can be named. However, they are not 'non-figurative.' Their aim is to represent (or should we rather say 'to evoke') in an abridged and synoptic way, the world that surrounds us of which we are a part."
-Jean Dubuffet
