Yet his work remains some of the most misunderstood-and least interrogated-post-war French art. In \u003ci\u003eJean Dubuffet, Bricoleur: Portraits, Pastiche, Performativity, \u003c\/i\u003eStephanie Chadwick re-examines his portraits (a veritable who's who of the Parisian art and intellectual scene) through the lens of his writings and in tandem with the art and literature of his Surrealist sitters. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDubuffet, while posing as an outsider himself, mingled with many great artists and theorists. He also celebrated Art Brut (the art of ostensible outsiders), developing an elaborate and nuanced stream of conceptual resources to reconfigure painting and reframe post-war anticultural discourses. This book investigates Dubuffet's painting as bricolage, uncovering his reliance on a culture of \u003ci\u003eanticulture\u003c\/i\u003e and the appropriation of motifs from Surrealism to the South Pacific, to explore themes of multivalence, performativity, and multifaceted identity in his portraits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Chadwick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350430528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350430525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Stephanie Chadwick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522426204415,"sku":"9781350430525","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4b1e42f-0067-4780-8587-901afaaf3d2f.jpg?v=1700157189","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jean-dubuffet-bricoleur-stephanie-chadwick-9781350430525","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
