'''Jean Philippe Arthur Dubuffet''' ({{IPA|fr|ʒɑ̃ filip aʁtyʁ dybyfɛ}}; 31 July 1901 – 12 May 1985) was a French painter and sculptor of the École de Paris (School of Paris). His idealistic approach to aesthetics embraced so-called "low art" and eschewed traditional standards of beauty in favor 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, and for the collection of works—''Collection de l'art brut''—that this movement spawned. Dubuffet enjoyed a prolific art career, both in France and in America, and was featured in many exhibitions throughout his lifetime.
==Early life== Dubuffet was born in Le Havre to a family of wholesale wine merchants who were part of the wealthy bourgeoisie.<ref name="LeMonde_2013/07/22">{{Cite news|url=https://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2013/07/22/entre-dubuffet-et-chaissac-un-lien-passionnel_3450827_3246.html|title=Entre Dubuffet et Chaissac, un lien passionnel|newspaper=Le Monde.fr|date=22 July 2013|via=Le Monde}}</ref> His childhood friends included the writers Raymond Queneau and Georges Limbour.<ref>Colin-Picon, M., Georges Limbour: le songe autobiographique, Lachenal & Ritter, Paris, 1994.

Six months later, upon finding academic training to be distasteful, he left the Académie to study independently.<ref name="Selz1962">Selz, Peter.

But again he stopped, developing his wine business at Bercy during the German Occupation of France. Years later, in an autobiographical text, he boasted about having made substantial profits by supplying wine to the Wehrmacht.<ref name="LeMonde_2013/07/22"/>
==Early work== thumb|left|Jean Dubuffet, 1960 In 1942, Dubuffet decided to devote himself again to art. He often chose subjects for his works from everyday life, such as people sitting in the Paris Métro or walking in the country. Dubuffet painted with strong, unbroken colors, recalling the palette of Fauvism, as well as the Brucke painters, with their juxtaposing and discordant patches of color. Many of his works featured an individual or individuals placed in a very cramped space, which had a distinct psychological impact on viewers. In 1943, the writer George Limbour, a friend of Dubuffet from childhood, took Jean Paulhan to the artist's studio. Dubuffet's work at that time was unknown. Paulhan was impressed and the meeting proved to be a turning point for Dubuffet.<ref>Colin-Picon, op. cit.</ref> His first solo show came in October 1944, at the Galerie Rene Drouin in Paris. This marked Dubuffet's third attempt to become an established artist.<ref name="Selz1962"/>
In 1945, Dubuffet attended and was strongly impressed by a show in Paris of Jean Fautrier's paintings in which he recognized meaningful art which expressed directly and purely the depth of a person. Emulating Fautrier, Dubuffet started to use thick oil paint mixed with materials such as mud, sand, coal dust, pebbles, pieces of glass, string, straw, plaster, gravel, cement, and tar. This allowed him to abandon the traditional method of applying oil paint to canvas with a brush; instead, Dubuffet created a paste into which he could create physical marks, such as scratches and slash marks. The impasto technique of mixing and applying paint was best manifested in Dubuffet's series 'Hautes Pâtes' or Thick Impastoes, which he exhibited at his second major exhibition, entitled ''Microbolus Macadam & Cie/Hautes Pates'' in 1946 at the Galérie René Drouin. His use of crude materials and the irony that he infused into many of his works incited a significant amount of backlash from critics, who accused Dubuffet of 'anarchy' and 'scraping the dustbin'.<ref name="Selz1962"/> He did receive some positive feedback as well—Clement Greenberg took notice of Dubuffet's work and wrote that '[f]rom a distance, Dubuffet seems the most original painter to have come out of the School of Paris since Miro...'<ref name="D'Souza1997"/> Greenberg went on to say that 'Dubuffet is perhaps the one new painter of real importance to have appeared on the scene in Paris in the last decade.'<ref name="D'Souza1997"/> Indeed, Dubuffet was very prolific in the United States in the year following his first exhibition in New York (1951).<ref name="D'Souza1997"/>
After 1946, Dubuffet started a series of portraits, with his own friends Henri Michaux, Francis Ponge, George Limbour, Jean Paulhan and Pierre Matisse serving as 'models'. He painted these portraits in the same thick materials, and in a manner deliberately anti-psychological and anti-personal, as Dubuffet expressed himself. A few years later he approached the surrealist group in 1948, then the College of Pataphysique in 1954. He was friendly with the French playwright, actor and theater director Antonin Artaud, he admired and supported the writer Louis-Ferdinand Céline and was strongly connected with the artistic circle around the surrealist André Masson. In 1944 he started an important relationship with the resistance-fighter and French writer and publisher Jean Paulhan who was also strongly fighting against "intellectual terrorism", as he called it.{{citation needed|date=May 2021}}
==Reception in America== [[File:Corps de dame jaspé (Marbleized Body of a Lady), 1950, Jean Dubuffet.jpeg|thumb|right|''Corps de dame jaspé [Marbleized Body of a Lady]'' (1950) at the National Gallery of Art in 2022]] Dubuffet achieved very rapid success in the American art market, largely due to his inclusion in the Pierre Matisse exhibition in 1946. His association with Matisse proved to be very beneficial. Matisse was a very influential dealer of contemporary European Art in America, and was known for strongly supporting the School of Paris artists. Dubuffet's work was placed among the likes of Picasso, Braque, and Rouault at the gallery exhibit, and he was one of only two young artists to be honored in this manner. A Newsweek article dubbed Dubuffet the 'darling of Parisian avant-garde circles,' and Greenberg wrote positively about Dubuffet's three canvases in a review of the exhibit. In 1947 Dubuffet had his first solo exhibition in America, in the same gallery as the Matisse exhibition. Reviews were largely favorable, and this resulted in Dubuffet having at least an annual, if not a biannual exhibition at that gallery.<ref name="D'Souza1997">D'Souza, Aruna. "I Think Your Work Looks A Lot Like Dubuffet: Dubuffet and America, 1946-1962". ''Oxford Art Journal'' 20.2 (1997): 61.</ref>
Due to his participation in a steady stream of art exhibitions within his first few years in New York, Dubuffet became a constant presence in the American art world. Dubuffet's association with the School of Paris provided him with a unique vehicle to reach American audiences, even though he dissociated himself from most of the ideals of the school, and reacted very strongly against the 'great traditions of painting.' Americans were intrigued by Dubuffet's simultaneous roots in the established French vanguard and his work, which was such a strong reaction against his background. Many painters of the New York school at this time were also trying to seek status within the avant-garde tradition, and drew influence from Dubuffet's work. His reception in America was very closely linked to and dependent upon the New York art world's desire to create its own avant-garde environment.<ref>D'Souza, Aruna. I Think Your Work Looks A Lot Like Dubuffet: Dubuffet and America, 1946-1962. Oxford Art Journal 20.2 (1997): 63.</ref>
Specific examples of American artists interested in Dubuffet’s art were Alfonso Ossorio and Joseph Glasco. At the end of 1949, while Pierre Matisse was preparing Dubuffet’s January 1950 show, Alfonso Ossorio had traveled to Paris to meet Dubuffet and buy some of his paintings. Then in 1950, at Ossorio’s urging, his young friend Joseph Glasco left New York for Paris to meet Dubuffet.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Raeburn |first=Michael |title=Joseph Glasco: The Fifteenth American |publisher=Cacklegoose Press |year=2015 |isbn=9781611688542 |location=London |pages=16 (footnote), 74-75, 377 |language=English}}</ref> Glasco credited this encounter as having had an influence on his own art, and Dubuffet frequently asked about “Pollock and Glasco” in his letters to Ossorio.<ref name=":0" />
==Transition to art brut== [[File:Barbe des combats (Combat Beard), 1959, Jean Dubuffet.jpeg|thumb|right|''Barbe des combats [Combat Beard]'' (1959) at the National Gallery of Art in 2022]]
Between 1947 and 1949, Dubuffet took three separate trips to Algeria—a French colony at the time—in order to find further artistic inspiration. In this sense, Dubuffet is very similar to other artists such as Delacroix, Matisse, and Fromentin.<ref name="Minturn2004_247-258"/> However, the art that Dubuffet produced while he was there was very specific insofar as it recalled Post-War French ethnography in light of decolonization. Dubuffet was fascinated by the nomadic nature of the tribes in Algeria—he admired the ephemeral quality of their existence, in that they did not stay in any one particular area for long, and were constantly shifting. The impermanence of this kind of movement attracted Dubuffet and became a facet of art brut. In June 1948, Dubuffet, along with Jean Paulhan, Andre Breton, Charles Ratton, Michel Tapie, and Henri-Pierre Roche, officially established ''La Compagnie de l'art brut'' in Paris.<ref>Minturn, Kent. "Dubuffet, Levi-Strauss, and the Idea of Art Brut". ''Anthropology and Aesthetics'' 46 (2004): 248.</ref> This association was dedicated to the discovery, documentation and exhibition of art brut. Dubuffet later amassed his own collection of such art, including artists Aloïse Corbaz and Adolf Wölfli. This collection is now housed at the Collection de l'art brut in Lausanne, Switzerland. His art brut collection is often referred to as a "museum without walls", as it transcended national and ethnic boundaries, and effectively broke down barriers between nationalities and cultures.<ref name="Minturn2004_247-258">Minturn, Kent. "Dubuffet, Levi-Strauss, and the Idea of Art Brut". ''Anthropology and Aesthetics'' 46 (2004): 247-258.</ref>
[[File:20070624 Dubuffet - Court les rues.JPG|thumb|right|''Court les rues'' (1962) at the Milwaukee Art Museum, an example of a non-painterly Dubuffet painting]]
Influenced by Hans Prinzhorn's book ''Artistry of the Mentally Ill'', Dubuffet coined the term ''art brut'' (meaning "raw art", often referred to as 'outsider art') for art produced by non-professionals working outside aesthetic norms, such as art by psychiatric patients, prisoners, and children. Dubuffet felt that the simple life of the everyday human being contained more art and poetry than did academic art, or great painting. He found the latter to be isolating, mundane, and pretentious, and wrote in his ''Prospectus aux amateurs de tout genre'' that his aim was 'not the mere gratification of a handful of specialists, but rather the man in the street when he comes home from work....it is the man in the street whom I feel closest to, with whom I want to make friends and enter into confidence, and ''he'' is the one I want to please and enchant by means of my work.' To that end, Dubuffet began to search for an art form in which everyone could participate and by which everyone could be entertained. He sought to create an art as free from intellectual concerns as Art Brut, and as a result, his work often appears primitive and childlike. His form is often compared to wall scratchings and children's art.<ref>Selz, Peter. ''The Work of Jean Dubuffet, with Texts by the Artist''. New York: New York Museum of Modern Art, 1962. Print. P. 19</ref> Nonetheless, Dubuffet appeared to be quite erudite when it came to writing about his own work. According to prominent art critic Hilton Kramer, "There is only one thing wrong with the essays Dubuffet has written on his own work: their dazzling intellectual finesse makes nonsense of his claim to a free and untutored primitivism. They show us a mandarin literary personality, full of chic phrases and up-to-date ideas, that is quite the opposite of the naive visionary."<ref>{{cite web|last=Kramer|first=Hilton|title=Playing the Primitive|work=The Reporter |date=May 1962 |page=43}}</ref>
==Artistic style== Dubuffet's art primarily features the resourceful exploitation of unorthodox materials. Many of Dubuffet's works are painted in oil paint using an impasto thickened by materials such as sand, tar and straw, giving the work an unusually textured surface.<ref>California. University, Irvine. Art Gallery. ''Five Europeans: Bacon, Balthus, Dubuffet, Giacometti''. Irvine: The Gallery, 1966. Print.</ref> Dubuffet was the first artist to use this type of thickened paste, called bitumen.<ref>Arts Council of Great Britain. ''Jean Dubuffet Drawings''. London: Arts Council, 1966. Print.</ref> Additionally, in his earlier paintings, Dubuffet dismissed the concept of perspective in favor of a more direct, two-dimensional presentation of space. Instead, Dubuffet created the illusion of perspective by crudely overlapping objects within the picture plane. This method most directly contributed to the cramped effect of his works.
From 1962 he produced a series of works in which he limited himself to the colours red, white, black, and blue. Towards the end of the 1960s he turned increasingly to sculpture, producing works in polystyrene which he then painted with vinyl paint.
Dubuffet has influenced Linda Naeff.<ref>[https://www.bilan.ch/opinions/etienne-dumont/art_brut_le_musee_de_carouge_presente_le_monde_de_linda_naeff Notice www.bilan.ch] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230703173131/https://www.bilan.ch/opinions/etienne-dumont/art_brut_le_musee_de_carouge_presente_le_monde_de_linda_naeff |date=3 July 2023 }}.</ref><ref>[https://docplayer.fr/46789986-L-enigme-linda-naeff-du-11-janvier-au-9-fevrier-2914-dossier-didactique.html dossier didactique].</ref>
==Other enterprises== In late 1960–1961, Dubuffet began experimenting with music and sound and made several recordings with the Danish painter Asger Jorn, a founding member of the avant-garde movement COBRA. The same period he started making sculpture, but in a very not-sculptural way. As his medium he preferred to use the ordinary materials as papier-mâché and for all the light medium polystyrene, in which he could model very fast and switch easily from one work to another, as sketches on paper. At the end of the 1960s he started to create his large sculpture-habitations, such as 'Tour aux figures',<ref>classified as ''Monument historique'' by the French {{Base Mérimée|PA00088178|Notice of ''La Tour aux Figures''}}</ref> 'Jardin d'Hiver' and 'Villa Falbala'<ref>{{Base Mérimée|PA00079924|Notice of ''Closerie et Villa Falbala''}}</ref> in which people can wander, stay, and contemplate. In 1969 ensued an acquaintance between him and the French Outsider Art artist Jacques Soisson.
In 1974 Dubuffet created ''Jardin d'émail'', a very large outdoor painted sculpture designed for the Kröller-Müller Museum.<ref name="KM">{{cite web |title=Jardin d'émail, 1974 |url=https://krollermuller.nl/en/jean-dubuffet-jardin-d-email |website=krollermuller |publisher=Kröller-Müller Museum |access-date=19 November 2022}}</ref>
In 1978 Dubuffet collaborated with American composer and musician Jasun Martz to create the record album artwork for Martz's avant-garde symphony entitled ''The Pillory''. The much written about drawing has been reproduced internationally in three different editions on tens-of-thousands of record albums and compact discs. A detail of the drawing is also featured on Martz's second symphony (2005), ''The Pillory/The Battle'', performed by The Intercontinental Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Choir.
==Death== Dubuffet died from emphysema in Paris on 12 May 1985.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/15/arts/jean-dubuffet-painter-and-sculptor-is-dead.html|title=Jean Dubuffet, Painter and Sculptor, Is Dead|last=Russell|first=John|date=1985-05-15|work=The New York Times|access-date=2019-03-21|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
