“True art is never where it is expected to be: in places where no one considers it, nor names it.
Monsieur Art hates to be recognized and greeted by his name.
He walks around everywhere: everyone has already met him, jostles him at every junction ten times a day;
but no one would ever think it could be him — Monsieur Art himself, of whom so much good has been said.
That’s because he doesn’t look like Monsieur Art. The false Monsieur Art pretends to be the true;
but in fact the true doesn’t pretend at all. Thus people tend to err. Many people err.”
— Jean Dubuffet. “L’art brut préféré aux arts culturels”. Art brut collection at René Drouin Gallery. Paris, FR. 1949
