„Die wahre Kunst ist immer da, wo man sie nicht erwartet“ / “True art is where it is not expected”

German-english edition As an artist, and as a theorist and collector of Art brut, Jean Dubuffet changed the concept of art in the 20th century. He provided a definition of Art brut in 1949: "we understand it as works executed by people untouched by artistic culture [.]." These included Gaston Chaissac, Louis Soutter, Adolf Wölfli, Madge Gill and Margarethe Held. The self-taught artists and social outsiders gave him inspiration on his own path in art; they released the delight in experimentation so characteristic of Dubuffet’s work, along with anti-cultural and anti-aesthetic ideas. The book presents a selection of works from the extensive holdings of the Klewan Collection. - Jean Dubuffet and Art brut – focusing on six artistic positions
