About the Item
Original Serigraphy
Jean Dubuffet, a French painter and sculptor renowned for his bold and unconventional approach to art, played a crucial role in shaping modernism and contemporary art. In 1968, he presented his work in an exhibition titled Ecrits et Lithographies (Writings and Lithographs) at the Galerie La Pochade in Paris. This exhibition not only highlighted his innovative works but also produced an original poster that has since become an iconic representation of his distinctive style.
The Ecrits et Lithographies exhibition focused on Dubuffet's lithographs and writings, both of which were central to his exploration of Art Brut (or "raw art"). This movement, which Dubuffet championed, celebrated art created outside the boundaries of traditional academic and cultural norms. Dubuffet's work drew inspiration from the raw, instinctual expressions found in children's drawings, the art of the mentally ill, and other marginalized groups. The exhibition embodied this spirit of rebellion, showcasing Dubuffet's unique ability to merge text and image in ways that challenged conventional artistic standards.
The poster designed for the exhibition perfectly encapsulates Dubuffet's artistic philosophy. Known for his rejection of traditional aesthetics, Dubuffet often blurred the lines between text and image, creating works that were chaotic, spontaneous, and deeply expressive. The poster's design reflects this ethos, with its bold, dynamic visuals and unconventional typography. The text, while secondary to the overall visual impact, underscores the importance of language in Dubuffet's work, emphasizing that art is not just about what is seen but also about what is written and felt.
The year 1968 was a time of significant social and political upheaval in Paris, particularly with the May 1968 protests that called for greater freedom of expression and challenged traditional authority. Dubuffet's work, with its emphasis on liberation and raw creativity, resonated deeply with the spirit of the times. His rejection of institutional constraints and his celebration of outsider art aligned with the broader cultural movement toward greater artistic and personal freedom.
Galerie La Pochade, located in the heart of Paris, was a fitting venue for Dubuffet's exhibition. Known for its avant-garde programming, the gallery was a hub for radical artistic expression. Dubuffet's participation in this space further solidified his reputation as a trailblazer in the art world, pushing the boundaries of what art could be.
Today, the Ecrits et Lithographies exhibition poster is celebrated as a valuable artifact, embodying the essence of Dubuffet's artistic vision. It serves as a reminder of his commitment to redefining art and his influence on the broader history of modern art. The poster continues to inspire artists and collectors, standing as a testament to Dubuffet's enduring legacy and his ability to challenge and transform the artistic landscape.

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.
