Text from 'Living with art: The Alexander Walker collection' (British Museum Press, 2020):
Printed in eight colours by Serge Lozingot in Paris, this complex arrangement of lines and irregular, rounded shapes depicts two figures in profile, facing away from one another. It is one of Dubuffet’s 'Hourloupe' works, a term that he invented for the compositions deriving from line doodles that occupied him between 1962 and 1974. Dubuffet produced his first 'Hourloupe' lithograph, 'Saturday Afternoon', for the Philadelphia Museum of Modern Art in 1964 to mark their exhibition of his lithographs the following year.
