The Art of Brut

  • 24 views

The Art of Brut - an installation of the alternative authors and makers examined, investigated, collected and exhibited by Jean Dubuffet and his cohorts, at Galerie René Drouin, Paris, in 1946.   

Scheduled to coincide with Brutal Beauty, the Jean Dubuffet retrospective at the Barbican, The Art of Brut explores the artist’s relationship with his “discoveries”, placing them in an independent context in terms of their aesthetic, meaning and impact.  

The Art of Brut features over twenty artists, with well-known names: 

  • mediumistic painters Augustin Lesage and Fleury-Joseph Crépin
  • Swiss hospital illustrators Aloïse Corbaz and Adolf Wölfli
  • the infamous British/Scottish doodler, Scottie Wilson

About The Local Art Scene

The Local Art Scene was created as a way of finding and supporting local art and artists in towns and cities across the UK.

The site was launched in 2016 by a local Hampshire artist, who saw the need for a national directory where artists, galleries, clubs and suppliers could present themselves in an easily accessible environment, outside of conventional social media platforms.

Not all your customers are on social media! Our pages are ranked high on the search engines, enabling our listings to be found more easily through conventional searches, and in most cases our pages are listed in the top 10 of Google and MSN for individual artists and suppliers.

Boost your exposure! A listing on The Local Art Scene can help boost your existing website traffic or provide a cheaper solution to creating and maintaining your own website.
