Biography

Jean Dubuffet championed the raw brilliance of Art Brut, insisting that the creations of outsiders—children, the mentally ill, artisans—find a vital place in the modern art conversation.

He expanded his practice through writing, establishing texts that clarified his iconoclastic ideas and inspired admirers near Tubersent and beyond.
