Description - Hubert Damisch, Jean Dubuffet: Entree en Matiere (French Text) by Sophie Berrebi

French artist Jean Dubuffet and French art historian Hubert Damisch shared a long friendship between 1961, the year Damisch published his first essay on Dubuffet, and 1985 when the latter died. Entrée en matière gathers together all the texts written by Damisch on Dubuffet as well as a selection of their correspondence: one is able to follow how the thinking on a living artist could be inspired by a close relationship with him, but also by philosophy, human sciences, and other artists' oeuvres; and how in addition this thinking could evolve once the dialogue becomes a tribute monologue after the artist's death. Illustrated by Dubuffet's artworks and facsimiles of his correspondence, this volume is introduced and edited by art historian and curator Sophie Berrebi, a member of the editorial board of the academic journal Stedelijk Studies, which publishes widely on contemporary art. This volume is the sixth title of the Lectures maison rouge series. French text.
