Surely I aim for a beauty, but not that one. The idea that there are beautiful objects and ugly objects, people endowed with beauty and others who cannot claim it, has surely no other foundation than convention - old poppycock - and I declare that convention unhealthy." Jean Dubuffet Of all the series of Jean Dubuffet’s works, the Corps de dames have attracted the most attention and acclaim. Painted in 1950, Corps de dame, La rose incarnate is one of the early pictures from this series of thirty-three, over half of which are now in museum collections—and over half of those still privately owned are in the United States. La rose incarnate perfectly demonstrates the energy, wit and iconoclasm that led to the success of this series—and to its special success in America. This picture forms a part of the narrative of the development of art in the post-war era, having been owned by the artist and collector Alfonso Ossorio, one of Dubuffet’s friends. On t
