Hotel du Cantal

Hotel du Cantal is an oil on canvas painting by the French painter Jean Dubuffet, created in 1961.

The work, part of a major donation made by the artist in 1967, is held at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, in Paris.

[1][2] The canvas depicts a cityscape which represents automobile traffic in a shopping street where are particularly noticeable the signs of a store, an adjoining hotel and a pharmacy.

The street cars are presented in a very elementar style, similarly to their drivers.

Four cars are parked at the sidewalk, where a single man is seen apparently walking.
