The notion of Art Brut (crude/raw art) was introduced around 1945 by the French painter Jean Dubuffet. The term applies to pieces created by those who have not been influenced by other artists, people who have escaped cultural conditioning. The painters and sculptors whose work is exhibited in this museum are therefore outcasts (prisoners, psychiatric patients, etc.). The exhibition on offer is complemented by temporary ones, each more original, surprising, even more overwhelming than the next.
