Jean Dubuffet opened the door to infinity of greatness.. where everyone can participate. In Chicago he has a 3D giant doodle sculpture I'm regularly visiting and walking through.. "Art Brut artists draw their themes, ideas and means of expression from their 'own resources', from their 'impulses and humors', without referring to the usual means, without any consideration for the accepted conventions".. "Art doesn't go to sleep in the bed made for it. It would sooner run away than say its own name: what it likes is to be incognito. Its best moments are when it forgets what its own name is".. who wouldn't love this beautiful man!
I love the intentions, but not the overall impression of the work. A bold practitioner of the times, but lacked skills or finesse, I did like the art for everyone intention
The skill is not equal art, art has an element of expression in it that skill does not. It doesn't mean that skillful craftsmen are not artists, but after centuries of Western Art, with depictions of biblical images and royals according the reality, and even constructed perspective, Modern Art came with the notions of children's drawings, insane people drawings and abstraction, to bring life and energy and emotions and expression to it. I think it was after the French Revolution when people saw for the first time art galleries, in palaces they concquered. It was never a part of their lives.
This is the BEST ADVICE I've ever heard for an artist
I simply enjoyed that. "I am interested in bread not cake" likely has particular resonances in French,..

I loved the exhibition, and this video about Dubuffet is simply excellent!!!
So inspiring

the lack of finesse is what truly makes an art piece great or not.
Nobody cares lol
