Brut force and influence: Jean Dubuffet s enduring impact on contemporary art

Remarkably, Brutal Beauty is the first major survey of Jean Dubuffet’s work in the UK in more than 50 years. Yet, as the curator Eleanor Nairne points out, Dubuffet has remained a source of inspiration for successive generations of artists. David Hockney’s early career was “set alight” by seeing Dubuffet at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 1955, Nairne says. Jean-Michel Basquiat “completely fell in love with” the Frenchman’s “tumultuous” landscapes and his scribbling marks, she adds. And the impetus for the present show was visiting contemporary artists and seeing “how actively they re engaging with his work in their practice”.

He no longer paints with butter, cement or bitumen, but with shoemaker’s glue.” Period photographs show him as a lithe Ariel experimenting with coal dust, quick-drying enamel, fragments of glass, even sand and butterfly wings – a magnificent changeling darting about the studio.

So it seems almost impossible that the forthcoming Barbican retrospective should be the first here in half a century. But Dubuffet wasn’t entirely loved even in France to begin with.

New book from Taschen offers an unprecedented insight into Basquiat s art and work Jean-Michel Basquiat. 40th Anniversary Edition. Hans Werner Holzwarth, Eleanor Nairne. Hardcover, 15.6 x 21.7 cm, 1.45 kg, 512 pages. NEW YORK, NY .- The legend of Jean-Michel Basquiat is as strong as ever. Synonymous with 1980s New York, the artist first appeared in the late 1970s under the tag SAMO, spraying caustic comments and fragmented poems on the walls of the city. He appeared as part of a thriving underground scene of visual arts and graffiti, hip hop, post-punk, and DIY filmmaking, which met in a booming art world. As a painter with a strong personal voice, Basquiat soon broke into the established milieu, exhibiting in galleries around the world.
