Artists have a variety of methods to make their mark. Every Friday we will share a photograph of an #ArtistInAction. “For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity.” ― Jean Dubuffet Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) was the founder of the Art Brut movement and opted to ignore standard aesthetic beauty instead making what he felt better represented humanity. Dubuffet felt the monotonous everyday human experience contained more art than an exceptional poem or painting; therefore, his unorthodox paintings acted as a satire towards the concept and restraints of high art. Mixing nontraditional materials such as sand or straw into his paint, Dubuffet emphasized the gritty, and coarse reality of humanity in opposition to traditional aesthetics. #JeanDubuffet Photo: Jean Dubuffet at work on a polystyrene sculpture in Paris, June 1967.
