Jean Dubuffet, Bricoleur
«This groundbreaking study forms a necessary and timely reevaluation of Jean Dubuffet's forays into the genre of portraiture, in which Chadwick deftly employs the concepts of bricolage, pastiche, and performativity to shed new light on Dubuffet's important relationships with leading cultural figures of his time, including Michel Tapié, Jean Paulhan, Antonin Artaud, and Henri Michaux.»

One of the most prolific and influential artists of the 20th century, Jean Dubuffet has featured in a multitude of exhibitions and catalogues. Yet his work remains some of the most misunderstood—and least interrogated—post-war French art. Les mer

Dubuffet, while posing as an outsider himself, mingled with many great artists and theorists. He also celebrated Art Brut (the art of ostensible outsiders), developing an elaborate and nuanced stream of conceptual resources to reconfigure painting and reframe post-war anticultural discourses. This book investigates Dubuffet’s painting as bricolage, uncovering his reliance on a culture of anticulture and the appropriation of motifs from Surrealism to the South Pacific, to explore themes of multivalence, performativity, and multifaceted identity in his portraits.

«With this new volume, Chadwick offers fresh interpretations of Dubuffet’s mark-making, especially connecting his radical practice to Surrealist ideas in deeply intertextual readings. By focusing on a tightly constructed group of works, Chadwick expands previous understandings of Dubuffet’s portraits in the rich context of post-war French intellectual thought.»
