Specialist note

"I aim at an art that is directly plugged in to our current life, an art that starts out from this current life, that immediately emanates from our real life and real moods" (J. Dubuffet as quoted in M. Glimcher, Jean Dubuffet: Towards an Alternative Reality, New York, 1987, p. 127)
