His controversial materials and mark-making solidified his legacy as an iconoclastic figure in the canon of postwar European paintings, and his work has been exhibited and collected all over the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is the first book to be published on Dubuffet's early work in painting and sculpture in more than two decades. Organized by Mark Rosenthal, the exhibition focuses on Dubuffet's work from 1943 to 1959, and emphasizes the artist's anticultural approach in his depiction of subjects and his use of unorthodox materials. Several works by the French painter are on loan from private collections and museums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anny Aviram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0847858510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847858514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli International Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.10h x 10.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Anny Aviram","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48174891041023,"sku":"9780847858514","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ebad8c51-4550-459b-846d-65c24f500735.jpg?v=1771331200","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jean-dubuffet-anny-aviram-9780847858514","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
