I really admire the work of Dubuffet, because it is very contemporary and abstract, and it strays away from the "norms" that are often seen in art (portraiture, traditional portraiture, traditional sketches, etc). His work is very free and almost child-like in a way (through the lines, lack of color - the idea of coloring in shapes.. this is very similar to the concept of a child and their coloring book). The piece itself presents a feeling of unity through the repetition of the different elements that are incorporated (repetition of the lines, repetition of similar patterns, placement of the hues throughout the piece). Viewers see similar elements throughout the entire piece, which gives off a feeling of unity and balance. I also think it is interesting that the red and blue hues were chosen to be used in this piece. The choice of hues clash against each other. The red hue is warm, while the blue hue is cool, creating a high contrast within the piece. The piece itself reminds me of street art or graffiti in a way.
