About the Item

This original 1992 exhibition poster titled “Les Dubuffet de Dubuffet” was created to promote a major retrospective of Jean Dubuffet’s work, held at the Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain (MAMAC) in Nice, France. The show, which ran from May 20 to August 30, 1992, was a landmark cultural event, celebrating the prolific and unconventional genius of one of the 20th century’s most original artists. Dubuffet, the founder of the Art Brut movement, is celebrated for rejecting traditional standards of beauty and academic art in favor of raw, immediate, and often childlike expression. This poster, bearing his unmistakable artistic language, captures the anarchic energy and democratic spirit that defined his career. Bold, hand-drawn figures and forms tumble across a textured background of vivid reds, icy blues, and chalky whites, creating a visual tapestry that feels both chaotic and deeply intentional. The composition behind the text is taken from one of Dubuffet’s signature works—characterized by thick black outlines, whimsical faces, and spontaneous, graffiti-like strokes. It channels the essence of urban life, outsider art, and the subconscious, all themes central to his practice. Typography plays an important visual role here too: the vertical title “Les Dubuffet de Dubuffet” and the event details in bold white and red fonts stand out crisply against the dense artwork, providing structure without diminishing the rawness of the image. This juxtaposition between order and chaos mirrors Dubuffet’s own tension between civilization and instinct. This original poster is not only a collectible artifact for fans of Dubuffet and contemporary French art, but also a vibrant window into the enduring power of art that dares to defy convention. As a piece of graphic and curatorial history, it celebrates the enduring legacy of a man who believed that art should belong to everyone, not just the elite.
