Jean Dubuffet was born in Le Havre, France. One of the most significant European artists of the postwar era, Dubuffet invented a body of imaginative work based on his iconoclastic concept of l'art brut ("raw art"). Rejecting traditional notions of beauty, he found authentic expression in the work of children, the psychotic, and graffiti artists. Though Dubuffet's paintings and lithographs are related in subject and style, he appreciated the special qualities of printmaking, which he fully exploited. Lithography allowed the same plates to be printed repeatedly in different combinations, and sections of impressions to be used in numerous assemblages. Dubuffet's independent spirit, inquiring mind, originality, and intensive experimentation pushed the technique in new, exciting directions.
