, but also the paper that Dr. Morgenthaler dedicated in 1921 to a detainee who became a famous psychiatric representative of Art Brut, Adolf Wlfli . Soon, browsing asylums of Switzerland and France , and by incorporating individual creators and those that have been called "psychic" , Dubuffet is a collection of works which will be administered by the Society of Art Brut (which is associated a time Andre Breton ) to Paris and, after many adventures, finally hosted in Lausanne in 1975 , where she is still under the name of the Collection de l'Art Brut.
Definitions of Art Brut
The Art Brut includes productions by non-professionals in the art, free artistic culture, working outside aesthetic norms agreed upon (inmates of asylums psychiatric , self-taught isolated , medium ...). Dubuffet meant was an art spontaneous, unpretentious and without cultural intellectual approach.
Dubuffet often redefine the art brut, seeking to distinguish it from the folk art of the naive art , children's drawings, even creating the in its collection (see below "From the Art Brut Art in singular).

Quotes
"By this we mean the works executed by people free from artistic culture, where mimicry therefore, contrary to what happens among intellectuals, has little or no part, so that their authors take all (subjects, choice of materials used, means of transposition, rhythms, ways of writing, etc..) on their own merits and not the clichs of classical art or art in fashion. We are witnessing the artistic operation all pure, raw, reinvented in the world of all its phases by its author, using her own impulses. Of art which manifests itself so the only function of the invention, rather, those, constants in the cultural art of the chameleon and the monkey. "
- Jean Dubuffet, Art Brut Preferred to the Cultural Arts, 1949 (Manifesto accompanying the first exhibition of Art Brut at the Galerie Drouin, reproduced in the Prospectus and all written following Gallimard, 1967)
"Art does not lie in the beds that have been made for him, he runs away as soon as you pronounce his name: he likes it incognito. His best moments are when he forgets his name. "
- Jean Dubuffet. 1960
