American flags are painted in creative ways, accompanying crudely drawn people for this poster advertising Dubuffet's 1980 exhibtion at the Akademie der Kunst Berlin. Jean Philippe Arthur Dubuffet (31 July 1901 – 12 May 1985) was a French painter and sculptor. His idealistic approach to aesthetics embraced so called "low art" and eschewed traditional standards of beauty in favor of what he believed to be a more authentic and humanistic approach to image-making.
