Art Brut is defined by Jean Dubuffet as follows: "Works produced by people uncontaminated by artistic culture,where mimicry plays little or no part, contrary to the activities of intellectuals. These creators derive everything's subjects, choice of materials, means of transposition, rhythms, styles of writing- from their own reserves. We witness the artistic process in all its purity, raw, reinvented on all its levels by their maker."
Most of the art was collected by Jean Dubuffet and was made by patients in Psychiatric hospitals in Europe. There were many pieces that I wanted to draw, to remember. While we were there we were treated to a Jazz concert for an hour (every Wed from 2-3), and all three of us even sketched the bass player.
On Dec 30 Pat and I immersed ourselves in the Metropolitan Museum of Art current exhibits - with a brief break for lunch in the museum cafeteria. These drawing were from my three favorite exhibits.
Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of my blog and this week I will post my Goals for art on paper and fabric in 2016. I don't post all of my art and textile projects, but I remain happy that I have a blog and can share so many experiences with friends from around the world.
