In 2020, the Brooklyn Museum controversially deaccessioned The Messenger, a painting from this artist’s Circus series that shows a man made up of pinkish blobs. A painting by this artist that shows oddly skin-toned people wearing cowboy hats in front of building façades is part of a broader series that celebrates urban street festivals. After his “Texturologies” and “Materiologies” cycles, this artist began a series of abstract paintings based on the modular oval-based structures he doodled while on the phone. A book by Hans Prinzhorn partly inspired this artist’s trademark early style of flattened perspective and heavily textured paint layers, as seen in his Cow with the Subtle Nose. This artist was inspired by the art of the mentally ill to found a movement named for its “rough” aesthetic. For 10 points, name this French artist who created the L’Hourloupe (“loor-LOOP”) series and spearheaded the art brut movement. ■END■
