Biography

Even with reflection... the concept of Art brut (in Italian, literally, Raw Art, but also translated as "spontaneous art") was invented in 1945 by the French painter Jean Dubuffet to indicate artistic productions created by non-professionals or boarders of the psychiatric hospital who operate outside conventional aesthetic norms (self-taught, psychotics, prisoners, people completely devoid of artistic culture). In this way, he intended to define a spontaneous art, without cultural pretensions and without any reflection.

Jean Dubuffet: Raw art designates "works carried out by people free from artistic culture, in which mimicry, contrary to what happens in intellectuals, has little or no role, so that their authors get everything (topics, choice of materials, implementation, means of transposition, rhythm, ways of writing, etc.) from their depth and not stereotypes of classical art or fashionable art. Art Brut, according to its enthusiasts, must be distinguished from popular art, from naïve art, from children's drawings.
