Jean Dubuffet: Anticultural Positions

The catalogue to a groundbreaking exhibition of Dubuffet´s seminal "Art Brut" and including historic essays by the artist published for the first time. This is the first book to be published on Dubuffet´s early work in painting and sculpture in more than two decades. Organized by Mark Rosenthal, the exhibition focuses on Dubuffet´s work from 1943 to 1959, and emphasizes the artist´s "anti-cultural" 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.
