Asphyxiating Culture, by Jean Dubuffet
Download a PDF Sample (600 KB)"Asphxiating Culture is Dubuffet's credo that decries conventional art instruction while extolling an untaught, 'brut' art. The willfulness of his opinions, the combativeness with which he pursues his creative and intellectual position, the strength and clarity of his expression are all part of his redoubtable armory and shows us the artist/writer at his idiosyncratic best." --Thomas M. Messer, former director of the Guggenheim Museum.
Project Notes:
There is no English edition of Asphyxiating Culture currently in print. First published in France 1986, it was first translated into English by Carol Volk in 1988. If a project team were to work on this book, they would work with the original French publisher and either produce a new translation, or contact Volk to reprint her original translation.
