Answer:

an attack on academic figure drawing

Step-by-step explanation:

Sayre explains the drawings Corpse de Dame (French for bodies or group of women) done by Jean Dubuffet as the unconventional presentation of female figures that express women as the slap of skin, drawn in rough forms. He notes that these pieces of art are often called out as misogynistic (negative or hating women).

However, Sayre says it can also be seen as an attack on the traditional perfect and beautiful figure drawing. Drawing women is usually an artists’ expression of beauty, while Dubuffet parts himself from this and uses liberal, free ink, and form, very close to the Surrealist experiments.
