# Jean Dubuffet

> He collected the art of asylum inmates and self-taught obsessives, then made his own work look like theirs — on purpose. Dubuffet built a career convincing the art world that untrained vision mattered more than technique.

## Bio

Born 31 July 1901, Dubuffet spent decades in his family's wine business before committing to painting in his forties. He rejected the polished standards of the École de Paris and went hunting for what he called "art brut" — raw work by psychiatric patients, prisoners, children, anyone outside the academy. The Collection de l'art brut grew into a manifesto: authenticity lived in the margins, not the museums. His own canvases adopted the same rough vocabulary, thick with tar and gravel, figurative but deliberately crude. Exhibitions in France and America followed through the decades until his death on 12 May 1985, by which point he'd made "low art" a high-art position.
