Gravier Perlier - De Eaux, Pierres, Sable is an original black and white lithograph realized by Jean Dubuffet (1901 Le Havre - Paris 1985).

Reference: - L'œuvre grave et les livres illustrés par Jean Dubuffet: catalogue raisonné, Volume 1. Cover. Sophie Webel, Jean Dubuffet. Baudoin-Lebon, 1991, p. 166, n.578 - Silkeborg n. 375 This portfolio belongs to the exceptional series of Phenomena (Les Phénomènes), created between 1958 and 1962. In these important works, Dubuffet applied techniques such as spraying, irrigation, and the emulsification of liquids onto lithographic stone in order to achieve visual analogies with phenomena related to nature and the earth. The result is seemingly abstract yet realistic; a poetic classification of imperceptible events.
