"Man’s need for art is absolutely primordial, as strong as, and perhaps stronger than our need for bread. Without bread, we die of hunger, but without art we die of boredom."
Jean Dubuffet
On the occasion of the opening of the gallery’s new space at 21 rue Chapon in Paris, baudoin lebon is pleased to present a selection of works by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) from 5 May to 30 June 2021. A major and unclassifiable figure of
the 20th century, Jean Dubuffet occupies a special place in the history of the gallery. The exhibition will present a series of unpublished drawings made between 1948 and 1981; they are from the cycle of Matériologies (including the Historiette de Terre, the result of his many experiments with matter), as well as the famous characters from the Hourloupe cycle.
