Jean Dubuffet Quotes
For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity.
Dubuffet, Jean. Asphyxiating Culture and Other Writings. Translated by Carol Volk, Four Walls Eight Windows, 1986, p. 18.
Jean Philippe Arthur Dubuffet was a French painter and sculptor. 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 movement Art Brut, 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.
