Jean Dubuffet
Datum narození: 31. červenec 1901
Datum úmrtí: 12. květen 1985
Jean Philippe Arthur Dubuffet byl francouzský malíř a sochař.
Jeho dílo je řazeno k informelu, tašismu či patafyzice. Kolem roku 1948 měl blízko k francouzským surrealistům, ale hnutí opustil. Ovlivněn knihou psychiatra Hanse Prinzhorna definoval tzv. art brut, k němuž se i hlásil a obrazy řazené k tomuto směru také sbíral . Své obrazy a skulptury vytvářel z polystyrénu, betonu, lávy, textilu, kůže, uschlých větví a jednou dokonce i z motýlích křídel. Psal též ceněné eseje a teoretické práce o umění, pokoušel se komponovat i hudbu.

„Man Writes on Sand.“

1940's
„What an adventure you have thrown me into! Nothing was farther from my thoughts than doing portraits! Now it's all I think about.... and i's all your handiwork“
Quote in Dubuffet's letter to American art-promoter Gould, dated 4 August 1946; as cited in Physiognomic Illegibility, by Kent Mitchell Minturn - JEAN DUBUFFET'S POSTWAR PORTRAITS https://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/fineart/people/faculty/minturnPDFs/Minturn%20Final%20(low%20res).pdf
1940's
„At present [around 1960-1970] I make objects (whether a type-writer, wheelbarrow, bed or fishingboat..) very 'hourloupés' [like his painting: Courre Merlan (Whiting Chase), 1964. What I mean is that I am swimming upstream against the 'l'Hourloupe' current. I am approaching it from the opposite direction: instead of starting out with indeterminate lines that eventually give me a wheelbarrow, I start out with the idea of making a wheelbarrow and then add my indeterminate lines. In effect what I am doing is making the current run simultaneously in both directions at the same time.“
Zdroj: posthumous, p. 81; Comment of Dubuffet on the occasion of his 1984 exhibition at the Venice Biennale
„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.... 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.“

„I took a great deal of pleasure in it, and I still feel nostalgic about it. However, I felt that it had led me to live in a parallel world of pure invention, shut inside my solitude. Naturally, it was precisely for that purpose that it was made and that was why I took pleasure in it, but I wanted to regain body and roots.“
Zdroj: posthumous, Batons rompus, 1986, pp. 34-35
„I do not see in what way the face of a man should be a less interesting landscape than any other. A man, the physical person of a man, is a little world, like any other a country, with its towns, and suburbs... As a rule what is needed in a portrait is a great deal of the general, and very little of the particular.“

„I have tried to draw the human effigy (and all the other subjects dealt with in my paintings) in an immediate and effective way without any reference to the aesthetic.“

Zdroj: 1960-70's, Prospectus et tous écrits suivants, 1967, p. 430
„The role of the artist.... and the poet is precisely to blur normal categories, to disrupt them, and by doing so restore to the eyes and the mind ingenuity and freshness.“
Dubuffet once explained to Jacques Berne; as cited in 'Dubuffet, Lévi-Strauss, and the Idea of Art Brut', Kent Minturn, from RES: Anthropology and Aesthetics, No. 46, Polemical Objects (Autumn, 2004), pp. 247-258 http://www.columbia.edu/cu/arthistory/faculty/Minturn/Dubuffet-Levi-Strauss.pdf, p. 256

„What seems interesting to me is to reproduce in the figurative representation of an object the whole complex system of impressions we receive in the normal course of everyday life, the way this affects our feelings and the shape it takes in our memory; and it is to this that I have always applied myself.“

„Art does not lie down on the bed that is made for it; it runs away as soon as one says its name; it loves to go incognito. Its best moments are when it forgets what it is called.“
Quoted by Alan Magee, in Paintings, Sculpture, Graphics., Forum Gallery, New York, 2004

„[children's art] is completely opposed to what interests me, because it's an effort to assimilate culture..“
In an interview with John M. MacGregor, later published in 'Raw Vision 7' (Summer 1993)
posthumous
„In all my works.... I have always had recourse to one never-varying method. It consists in making the delineation of the objects represented heavily dependent on a system of necessities which itself looks strange. These necessities are sometimes due to the inappropriate and awkward character of the material used, sometimes to some strange obsessive notion [frequently changed for another]. In a word, it is always a matter of giving the person who is looking at the picture a startling impression that a weird logic has directed the painting of it, a logic to which the delineation of every object is subjected, is even sacrificed, in such a peremptory way that, curiously enough, it forces the most unexpected solutions, and, in spite of the obstacles it creates, brings out the desired figuration.“
Quote of Dubuffet, in Peter Selz and Jean Dubuffet: The work of Jean Dubuffet, The Museum of Modern art, New York, 1962
1960-70's
„I want my street to be crazy, I want my avenues, shops and buildings, to enter into a crazy dance, and this is why I deform and distort their outlines and colours. However I always come up against the same difficulty, that if all the elements were one by one deformed and distorted excessively, if in the end nothing remained of their real outlines, I would have totally effaced the location that I intended to suggest, that I wished to transform.“

„.. I have never managed to grasp what exactly 'pataphysics' consisted of; but in short what I have always seen in it is a desire to disconnect philosophy from the discipline of logic, and to admit incoherence as a legitimate component of it. [comment on visiting frequently the Collège de 'Pataphysique']“
Zdroj: posthumous, Batons rompus, 1986, p. 19
„I have always directed my attempts at the figurative representation of objects by way of summary and not very descriptive brushstrokes, diverging greatly from the real objective measurements of things, and this has led many people to talk about childish drawing.... this position of seeing them [the objects] without looking at them too much, without focusing more attention on them than any ordinary man would in normal everyday life..“

„The painting will not be looked at passively, not embraced all at once by an observer's immediate gaze. But relived in its elaboration, remade by thought and if I dare say reacted... All the gestures made by the painter, he [the observer] feels them reproduced in him.“

„Our culture is like a garment that does not fit us, or in any case no longer fits us. This culture is like a dead language that no longer has anything in common with the language of the street. It is increasingly alien to our lives.“
