De nombreuses oeuvres de Dubuffet utilisent des techniques mixtes de peinture à l'huile épaissie par des matériaux comme le sable, le goudron et la paille, donnant à ses pièces une surface exceptionnellement texturisée et une consistance rugueuse.

 Jean Dubuffet - AMAM
Dubuffet was one of the most creative artists of the postwar period, and the most anti-artistic in his address of medium and image.
It was in 1946 that Dubuffet first developed the haute pâte technique--the mortarlike mixture of pigment, paint, sand, and tar (and sometimes pebbles, glass, and string as well) that gives his paintings an immensely tactile, encrusted character.
The completion of the Corps de Dame series in 1950 and Dubuffet's visit to the United States in 1951-52 coincides with a growing familiarity with the artist's work among American artists and collectors (the Corps de Dame series was not exhibited in the United States until after this visit).

To commemorate the centenary of Jean Dubuffet’s birth, from September 13 to December 31, 2001, the Georges-Pompidou Centre museum of modern art is presenting the first major retrospective of the painter in France since 1973.
Jean Dubuffet was one of these painters whose aim was to break free of the grip of tradition and to explore unknown territory, in order to rediscover the "ancestral spontaneity of the human hand when it makes marks".
From 1962, Dubuffet gave up "matiériste" [material based] work in favour of a new style of which the L’Hourloupe cycle is typical and on which he worked for twelve years.

Jean Dubuffet, original lithograph used as an announcement for an exhibition of the artist’s drawing at the Galerie Berggruen, Paris, 1960, 40" x 20"
Jean Dubuffet (1901—85) was a French artist who in the 1940’s coined the term "art brut" to mark the collection he made of artifacts produced by children, the naive, the "primitive," and the psychotic.
This type of socially and culturally marginalized visual production was part of a movement developed in Europe in the immediate aftermath of World War II as a radical critique of a Western culture that, for all its overt embrace of higher values, had, in the last instance, failed to prevent the Holocaust.

 Paysage aux Fantasmes. Landscape with Fantasies by Jean Dubuffet, 1901-1985
He was fascinated and much inspired by the actual processes of lithography, by the way that random effects of inking, brushwork and scraping could create forms which seemed to derive not from conscious drawing but from the subconscious mind in the manner that the Surrealists had investigated through ?automatic writing?
Dubuffet sometimes referred to the works of this period as Phénomènes - Phenomena - and this expresses much of the concept behind them.
They are unique and magisterial works in the history of the graphic art of the twentieth century, and rarely seen as the editions which Dubuffet printed were so small, in this case 20 impressions only.

 ART OF THE 70'S: Dubuffet
Jean Dubuffet was a successful wine wholesaler as well as an occasional artist when he had his first exhibition in Paris in 1944.
Dubuffet’s mature attempts to strip himself of acquired culture met with success and he began to exhibit his work in the United States as well as France, and continued to gain worldwide attention and praise until his death.
He wanted an artistic innocence like the asylum inmates he emulated and dubbed both their work and the style of painting he was attempting “l’art brut.” He saw no distinction between beauty and ugliness and felt that through attaining a natural, precultural state, the artist could achieve universal expressiveness.

 Jean Dubuffet Artist Detail » PaceWildenstein
Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) began painting at the age of seventeen and studied briefly at the Académie Julian, Paris.
Dubuffet's interest in art brut, the art of the insane, and that of the untrained person, whether a caveman or the originator of contemporary graffiti, led him to emulate this directly expressive and untutored style in his own work.
In addition to his paintings and sculptures, Dubuffet has been a prolific writer, the author of several volumes of essays and letters that are poetic and whimsical in spirit, comparable to his work as a painter.

Dubuffet had made lithographs since 1944, but from 1958 to 1962 he immersed himself in the medium, producing a monumental series of 324 prints, The Phenomena (Les Phénomènes).

Though Dubuffets paintings and lithographs are related in subject and style, he appreciated the special qualities of printmaking, which he fully exploited.

 Raw Vision
For Alfonso Ossorio and Jean Dubuffet 'the art of the insane and the tormented, the art of the institutionalized and imprisoned, became an art of liberation representing freedom in a claustrophobic world.
Dubuffet - who ultimately became more deeply involved with the art of outsiders than any other artist in this century - found the solitary and bizarre creations of clairvoyants, mediums and isolates more inspiring than all traditional forms of art-making.
Enthused by their obsessive and complex strength, Dubuffet wrote the text for a sixty-five page exquisitely illustrated book entitled Peintures Initiatiques d'Alfonso Ossorio, as well as the introduction to the catalogue which accompanied the Ossorio exhibition organized by Michel Tapie at the Paris Studio Paul Facchetti, in October 1951.
