Jean Dubuffet: Anticultural Positions

The catalogue to a groundbreaking exhibition of Dubuffetâ€™s seminal â€œArt Brutâ€ and including historic essays by the artist published in English for the first time.
Â
Jean Dubuffet is a French painter and sculptor who painted in a deliberately crude manner, inspired by art of the mentally ill or â€œArt Brut.â€ Dubuffet developed a technique of thick impasto and frequently incorporated unorthodox materials ranging from cement and gravel to leaves, dust, and even butterfly wings into his works. His controversial materials and mark-making solidified his legacy as an iconoclastic figure in the canon of postwar European paintings, and his work has been exhibited and collected all over the world.
Â
This is the first book to be published on Dubuffetâ€™s early work in painting and sculpture in more than two decades. Organized by Mark Rosenthal, the exhibition focuses on Dubuffetâ€™s work from 1943 to 1959, and emphasizes the artistâ€™s anticultural approach in his depiction of subjects and his use of unorthodox materials. Several works by the French painter are on loan from private collections and museums.
