Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring newly commissioned essays and photography of rarely exhibited works, this book highlights the radicalism of Jean Dubuffet, who was one of the most provocative voices of the postwar avant-garde. In 1940s occupied Paris, Jean Dubuffet began to champion a progressive vision for art; one that rejected classical notions of beauty in favor of a more visceral aesthetic. Taking a pioneering approach to materiality and technique, the artist variously blended paint with sand, glass, tar, coal dust, and string. At the same time, he began to assemble a collection of Art Brut--work that was made outside the academic tradition of fine art--even visiting psychiatric wards from 1945 to collect work by patients. This book features texts from leading scholars and is accompanied by images that illuminate Dubuffet's attempts to move beyond the artistic expectations of his time. The works are grouped into six thematic sections that focus on specific series, from his graffiti-inspired "Walls" and his notorious portrait series, "People are Much More Beautiful Than They Think" to the "Corps de dames," a controversial series of "female" landscapes, and his anthropomorphic sculptures, "Little Statues of Precarious Life." Exquisitely produced, this celebration of Dubuffet's work embraces his world view that art is for everyone, not just the elite.

Book Dubuffet and the City

Download or read book Dubuffet and the City written by Sophie Berrebi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dubuffet and the City. People, Place and Urban Space,? written and edited by renowned scholar Dr. Sophie Berrebi (University of Amsterdam), is the first in-depth study to address the work of Jean Dubuffet (1901-1984) in relation to the theme of the city. The book examines how the city plays a role in the formation and unfolding of Dubuffet?s practice and imagination as a material, a source, and a vehicle for ideas. It analyses works in which the artist depicts city dwellers, sites and urban spaces, and discusses his architectural projects from the 1960s and 1970s against the background of heated debates in the field of urbanism. The book accompanies and extends an exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Zurich (June?Sept 2018). Along with full color reproductions of art works the book reproduces little-known archival material from the archives of the Fondation Dubuffet. It also includes several texts by Dubuffet that are translated here in English for the first time.00Exhibition: Hauser & Wirth, Zürich, Switzerland (10.06.-01.09.2018).

Book Jean Dubuffet

Download or read book Jean Dubuffet written by Raphaël Bouvier and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his pioneering visual language, not least inspired by children and the mentally ill, Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) succeeded in disengaging himself from traditions and reinventing art, so to speak. Dubuffet's influence can also still be felt in contemporary art and Street Art, for example in work by David Hockney, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring.The point of departure for this presentation of the artist's multilayered oeuvre is Dubuffet's fascinating notion of landscape, which can also change into a body, a face, an object. He experimented with new techniques and materials, such as sand, butterfly wings, sponges, and slag, creating a unique pictorial universe. Besides important paintings and sculptures from all of the artist's creative phases, the volume also features Dubuffet's spectacular Coucou Bazar, a synthesis of the arts in which painting, sculpture, theater, dance, and music converge.

Book excerpt: In celebration of Jean Dubuffet's eightieth birthday, this exhibition brings together two collections--that of Morton and Linda Janklow as well as of the Guggenheim's own holdings. Dubuffet was a key exponent of Art Brut (Raw art), a movement that eschewed conventional notions of beauty in favor of a heightened, raw, and primitive aesthetic. This catalogue offers an insight into the artist's development through to 1981. Several included canvases display Dubuffet's trademark aesthetic, typified by richly textured surfaces and the addition of found materials. Alongside these pieces are sculptures, watercolors, and prints. The introduction is written by Thomas M. Messer and is followed by Morton L. Janklow's essay entitled?Notes on Collecting and Friendship: A Tribute to Jean Dubuffet.? Revealing quotes from Dubuffet are interspersed amid black-and-white images of his work, followed by a list of showcased pieces, as well as a short biography.

  • Pages : 294 pages

Download or read book Jean Dubuffet written by Jean Dubuffet and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Dubuffet's (1901-1985) artistic career encompassed a wide range of styles, themes and media. Reproduction of more than one hundred works on paper, paintings and sculptures collected in this book trace the development of a controversial artist who maintained a lifelong allegiance to art that was spontaneous and intuitive. The essays and artworks in this volume examine Dubuffet's innovative use of materials, stylistic treatment, and content, and his transition from two-to-three-dimensional forms. This book allows for a clearer understanding of the three major phases of his work: from the beginning of the forties when Dubuffet began to work with materials that were alien to art and culminating in his magnificent "Materiologies, through the most comprehensive cycle of works, "Hourloupe, to his later works in the eighties, which include "Theatre de memoire, Brefs exercises, Psycho-sites, Mires and "Non lieux. Through the comparison of paintings and sculptural works, "Jean Dubuffet: Trace of an Adventure illustrates the defining tensions in Dubuffet's work.

  • ISBN : 0226748804
  • Pages : 290 pages

Download or read book Writings Interviews written by Richard Serra and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994-08-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important sculptors of this century, Richard Serra has been a spokesman on the nature and status of art in our day. Best known for site-specific works in steel, Serra has much to say about the relation of sculpture to place, whether urban, natural, or architectural, and about the nature of art itself, whether political, decorative, or personal. In interviews with writers including Douglas and Davis Sylvester, he discusses specific installations and offers insights into his approach to the problem each presents. Interviews by Peter Eisenman and Alan Colquhoun elicit Serra's thoughts on the relation of architecture to contemporary sculpture, a primary component in his own work. From essays like "Extended Notes from Sight Point Road" to Serra's extended commentary on the Tilted Arc fiasco, the pieces in this volume comprise a document of one artist's engagement with the practical, philosophical, and political problems of art.

Book excerpt: Dubuffet was one of the most remarkable artists of the 20th century. An enemy of culture and of the art of museums, he was an anarchist and an atheist, and anti military and unpatriotic in his attitudes. As such, he was a rebel who rejected all labels or categories, asserting there is no such thing as abstract art, either that or art is always abstract. 130 illustrations

  • Author : Jean Dubuffet

  • Pages : 176 pages

Download or read book Jean Dubuffet 1943 1963 written by Jean Dubuffet and published by Smithsonian Books (DC). This book was released on 1993 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1942 Jean Dubuffet, a Parisian wine merchant, retired from his successful business and took up another line of intoxicants. The late-blooming artist-Provocateur enjoyed immediate success, despite negative reviews and charges of vulgarity. Fiercely independent and iconoclastic, Dubuffet (1901-1985) disdained classical notions of beauty and reason in favor of visual rawness and instinct. In his work, he employed a crude pictorial style and often favored nontraditional materials such as leaves, butterfly wings, and sponges." "Jean Dubuffet 1943-1963 examines paintings, sculptures, and assemblages from what many critics believe to be the most innovative period in the artist's long career. Beginning with Dubuffet's first mature works, which depict daily life and reflect elements of popular culture in Paris, the book spans his whimsical paintings, imaginary landscapes, comical cows, and portrait caricatures of well-known French writers, literary critics, and artists, including artist Jean Fautrier, diarist and theater critic Paul Leautaud, novelist Andre Dhotel, critic and publisher Rene Bertele, and poet and critic Georges Limbour, who was also a boyhood friend." "The book also includes several essays on the artist and his work, and numerous quotes from Dubuffet's writings are in the catalogue section. Susan J. Cooke discusses the artist's portraits from 1946 to 1947, noting their continuing ability to startle, disturb, and amuse. Jean Planque reminisces about his long relationship with the artist, describing Dubuffet as a man of extremes - spontaneous, impatient, discreetly generous, with a love of contradiction and an extraordinary capacity for work. Peter Schjeldahl provides a succinct overview of Dubuffet's work and identifies Dubuffet's career as a long explosion that, as the artist said it would, defied the mainstream tradition of Western painting still in touch with the pictorial genres and aesthetic ideals inherited from the Renaissance. In addition to more than ninety full-page color plates of Dubuffet's works, a select bibliography and chronology are included." "Jean Dubuffet 1943-1963 accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Artistry of the Mentally Ill written by H. Prinzhorn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one is more conscious of the faults of this work than the author. Therefore some self -criticism should be woven into this foreward. There are two possible methodologically pure solutions to this book's theme: a de scriptive catalog of the pictures couched in the language of natural science and accom panied by a clinical and psychopathological description of the patients, or a completely metaphysically based investigation of the process of pictorial composition. According to the latter, these unusual works, explained psychologically, and the exceptional circum stances on which they are based would be integrated as a playful variation of human expression into a total picture of the ego under the concept of an inborn creative urge, behind which we would then only have to discover a universal need for expression as an instinctive foundation. In brief, such an investigation would remain in the realm of phenomenologically observed existential forms, completely independent of psychiatry and aesthetics. The compromise between these two pure solutions must necessarily be piecework and must constantly defend itself against the dangers of fragmentation. We are in danger of being satisfied with pure description, the novelistic expansion of details and questions of principle; pitfalls would be very easy to avoid if we had the use of a clearly outlined method. But the problems of a new, or at least never seriously worked, field defy the methodology of every established subject.
