Jean Dubuffet is a painter and sculptor known for being the founder of the art brut movement. His fascination for the art of the uninitiated, more particularly that made by children, the sick and those for whom there are no cultural and artistic references, encourages him to imitate their style to incorporate it into his own. Born Jean Philippe Arthur Dubuffet on July 31, 1901 in Le Havre, Dubuffet studied at the Académie Julian with Raoul Dufy, Suzanne Valadon and Fernand Léger in 1918, but left his training after six months. He returned to art in the early 1940s and formed the Compagnie de l'Art Brut (1948 - 1951, restored in 1962) with André Breton, Slavko Kopac, among others. He died on May 12, 1985 in Paris at the age of 83 and the Jean Dubuffet Foundation, created in 1973 in Val-de-Marne, continues to present his works.
