A few words about the 2025 exhibition – Dubuffet and the magicians
Expressions singulières 1945 – 2000
In the post-war years, Jean Dubuffet shook up the artistic landscape by defining Art Brut: a pure, instinctive form of expression on the bangs of academic conventions. At the same time, the CoBrA movement explored a primitive, vibrant pictorial language. A little later, Michel Tapié coined the notion of “art autre”, inviting us to explore a parallel dimension of creation.
This intellectual and artistic effervescence revealed a generation of artists with singular approaches, true precursors of the great contemporary movements.
