Jean Dubuffet (continued)

Schermafbeelding 2020-11-22 om 14.24.11

I have always taken great interest in the works by jean Dubuffet.

A few years ago i was ver impressed with a small exhibit of paintings that were on show in the permanent collection of the Musee des Art Decoratifs in Paris. At the time we visited with David and Monica the Chtchoukine collection at the Fondation Vuitton and seeing the Dubuffets was certainly one of the artistic highlights of the trip. I was delighted to encounter what is (arguably) the best exhibition catalogue on Dubuffet ever.

It is a combined effort of the three venues that all had the same show with works by Jean Dubuffet. The three venues were Akademie der Kunste in Berlin, Museum Moderner Kunst in Vienna and the Josef Haubrich-Kunsthalle in Köln. The three combined publihed one of the most impressive and important catalogues with an exhibition ever. 428 pages filled with impressive and important Dubuffet works of Art. This cataloguefrom 1980 is now available at www.ftn-books.com

Outsider Art of atelier de Herenplaats

Schermafbeelding 2019-04-25 om 15.45.29

By chance i found a publication by atelier de Herenplaats. An artist studio for the mentally deficient and i was really surprised to find some great art within this publiucation. This Art Brut/Outsider Art is matured and must be considered as true art. The spontanious compositions delight and i have read on the site of de Herenplaats that many of their artist have had their ( international) presentations in galeries and museums.

de Herenplaats site can be found on this address: http://www.herenplaats.nl

and www.ftn-books.com has the Herenplaats publication now for sale in its shop.
