• ART BRUT
  • HELENE BAILLY is an art gallery in Paris that exhibits Art Brut works, featuring notably Jean Dubuffet.

     

    Art Brut refers to works created outside established artistic circles, often by self-taught individuals on the margins of social or cultural norms. These creations are characterized by a freedom of invention, a unique visual language, and a disregard for aesthetic or commercial conventions.

     

    The term emerged in the 1940s, driven by the artist Jean Dubuffet, who became interested in these spontaneous forms of creation, independent of any academic artistic influence. Since then, this artistic field has gradually gained recognition, shedding light on practices long overlooked.

    While Dubuffet played a key role in defining and promoting Art Brut, the concept today goes beyond its original boundaries. It reveals an aesthetic and human richness that continues to challenge our relationship with art, norms, and the legitimacy of creation.
