Us-France-Dubuffet
Pedestrians admire 27 October 1972 a Jean Dubuffet sculpture at the Chase Manhattan Plaza in New York City. Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) was born in Le Havre, France. He moved to Paris in 1918 to study painting at the Academie Julian, but after six months he left the Academie to study independently. In 1924, doubting the value of art, he stopped painting and took over his fathers business selling wine. He took up painting again in the 1930s, but again stopped, only turning to art for good in 1942. Influenced by Hans Prinzhorns book Artistry of the Mentally Ill, Dubuffet coined the term Art Brut for art produced by non-professionals working outside aesthetic norms, such as art by mental patients, prisoners, and children. Dubuffet sought to create an art as free from intellectual concerns of that as Art Brut, and his work often appears primitive and child-like. AFP PHOTO / AFP PHOTO

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when pedestrians in New York City were left awe-inspired by a Jean Dubuffet sculpture at the Chase Manhattan Plaza on 27th October 1972. Jean Dubuffet, born in Le Havre, France, was an artist who had a unique journey towards embracing his true passion. After initially studying painting at the Academie Julian in Paris, he doubted the value of art and temporarily abandoned it to sell wine for his father's business. However, he eventually returned to painting in the 1930s before fully committing himself to art in 1942. Dubuffet's artistic vision was heavily influenced by Hans Prinzhorn's book "Artistry of the Mentally Ill" leading him to coin the term Art Brut for works created outside traditional aesthetic norms by non-professionals such as mental patients, prisoners, and children. Seeking to create art that was free from intellectual constraints, Dubuffet often infused his pieces with a primitive and child-like quality. In this particular photograph taken by Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness not only the admiration of passersby but also glimpse into Dubuffet's ability to captivate viewers with his unconventional sculptures. The vertical composition emphasizes both the scale and grandeur of this outdoor artwork while highlighting its distinctiveness against New York City's urban backdrop. With this stunning image captured forever on paper, we are reminded of Jean Dubuffet's significant contributions to contemporary art and
