About the Item
Jean Dubuffet, a French painter and sculptor known for his bold, unconventional approach to art, was a pivotal figure in the development of modernism and contemporary art. In 1968, he showcased his work in an exhibition titled Ecrits et Lithographies (Writings and Lithographs) at the Galerie La Pochade in Paris, which not only featured his works but also produced an original exhibition poster that has become an iconic representation of his distinctive style.
The Ecrits et Lithographies exhibition was dedicated to his lithographs and writings, both of which were central to his exploration of "Art Brut" (or "raw art")—a movement that he championed throughout his career. Dubuffet's work emphasized art created outside the established conventions of academia and high culture, focusing instead on the unrefined, instinctual expressions found in children’s drawings, the mentally ill, and other marginalized groups. The exhibition itself conveyed this spirit of rebellion against conventional artistic standards, with Dubuffet's exploration of the intersection between text and image taking center stage.
The poster designed for the exhibition reflects Dubuffet's commitment to defying traditional artistic norms. His works often blurred the boundaries between text and image, incorporating chaotic, spontaneous elements that reflected his fascination with the raw and visceral aspects of human expression. The poster’s design mirrors this ethos, capturing the essence of Dubuffet’s broader artistic practice.
The text on the poster, while secondary to the visual impact, reflected the importance of written language in Dubuffet’s artistic journey. The exhibition title and the location, Galerie La Pochade, were prominently featured, reinforcing the notion that art for Dubuffet was not just about what is seen, but also what is written, spoken, and felt.
The Ecrits et Lithographies exhibition poster also provides a snapshot of the cultural climate of Paris in 1968—a year marked by political unrest and social upheaval. The May 1968 protests, which called for greater freedom of expression, challenged traditional authority, and sparked debates about art’s role in society, were occurring just months before the opening of the exhibition. Dubuffet’s rejection of the academic tradition and embrace of outsider art was aligned with the spirit of the times, emphasizing the liberation of artistic expression from institutional constraints.
Galerie La Pochade, the venue for the exhibition, was known for its avant-garde exhibitions, making it an ideal space for showcasing Dubuffet’s work. The gallery, located in the heart of Paris, was a hub for radical artistic expression, and Dubuffet’s participation in it was emblematic of his ongoing influence on the art world.
The Ecrits et Lithographies exhibition poster remains a testament to Jean Dubuffet's continued innovation in the art world. As a reflection of his broader body of work, it illustrates his commitment to redefining the very essence of art. His ability to combine visual and verbal elements into a single, cohesive artwork continues to inspire artists and collectors alike. Today, the 1968 exhibition poster is considered a valuable artifact, celebrated for its bold aesthetic and its representation of a pivotal moment in both Dubuffet's career and the broader history of modern art.

Jean Dubuffet
Jean Dubuffet was a seminal French artist known for his prints as well as his primal figures and sculptures of vernacular subjects.
Dubuffet’s adoption of the term Art Brut or raw art, referred to the art of children, prisoners, and the mentally ill, was a reaction to what he called “art culturel” or refined art. It was his desire to break from tradition by implementing rudimentary mark-making and emulsions made from sand, tar, and trash, as seen in his work Grand Maitre of the Outsider (1946).
“A work of art is only of interest, in my opinion, when it is an immediate and direct projection of what is happening in the depth of a person's being,” the artist said. “It is my belief that only in this Art Brut can we find the natural and normal processes of artistic creation in their pure and elementary state.”
Born on July 31, 1901, in Le Havre, France, Dubuffet went on to study at the Académie Julian in Paris. While at school his peers included Raoul Dufy, Suzanne Valadon, and Fernand Léger. In 1918, after attending classes for only six months Dubuffet dropped out. Taking over his father’s wine business in 1924, he didn’t return to making art until the early 1940s. The artist would go on to form the Compagnie de l’Art Brut with André Breton and Slavko Kopač.
Dubuffet died on May 12, 1985, in Paris, France, at the age of 83. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
