Jean Dubuffet


Born
Le Havre, France
Genre


Jean Philippe Arthur Dubuffet (31 July 1901 – 12 May 1985) was a French painter and sculptor of the École de Paris.
His idealistic approach to aesthetics embraced so-called "low art" and eschewed traditional standards of beauty in favour of what he believed to be a more authentic and humanistic approach to image-making. He is perhaps best known for founding the art brut movement.

Quotes by Jean Dubuffet  (?)

“For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity.”
Jean Dubuffet

“There is no art without intoxication. But I mean a mad intoxication! Let reason teeter! Delirium! The highest degree of delirium! Plunged in burning dementia! Art is the most enrapturing orgy within man's reach.. Art must make you laugh a little and make you a little afraid. Anything as long as it doesn't bore.

Jean Dubuffet

“Personally, I believe very much in values of savagery; I mean: instinct, passion, mood, violence, madness.”
Jean Dubuffet
