Exhibition 2025: Dubuffet and the Magicians - Singular Expressions 1945-2000
Immerse yourself in the teeming world of Jean Dubuffet and his contemporaries with a guided tour of the 2025 exhibition. A major figure of the post-war period, Dubuffet introduced Art Brut, a movement free of traditional codes, which he exhibited widely while developing a radically innovative pictorial style.
At the same time, the CoBrA movement broke away from abstraction to reinvent raw, instinctive artistic expression. In the 1950s, Michel Tapié, an art critic and close associate of Dubuffet, formalised the notion of ‘other art’, advocating a form of creation free of convention, almost parallel to the real world.
This effervescence gave rise to unique works by artists who were marginal, visionary or unclassifiable, and who would have a lasting impact on contemporary art.
Artists on show: Dubuffet, Alechinsky, Aloïse, Atlan, Baj, Baya, Bettencourt, Boix-Vives, Carmeil, Chaissac, Constant, Corneille, Dado, Dereux, Fièvre, Hantaï, Jorn, Lindström, Macréau, Maryan, Michaux, Ramon.
