Art is a language, an instrument of knowledge, an instrument of communication.

Jeanne Tripier, Petit Dossier No 10
What I expect from any work of art is that it surprises me, that it violates my customary valuations of things and offers me other, unexpected ones.
- Jean Dubuffet

- Jean Dubuffet
Adolf Wölfli, 1924
A work of art is only of interest, in my opinion, when it is an immediate and direct projection of what is happening in the depth of a person's being.. ..It is my belief that only in this Art Brut can we find the natural and normal processes of artistic creation in their pure and elementary state.
- Jean Dubuffet
What interests me about thoughts is not the moment when it crystallises into formal ideas but its earlier stages.
- Jean Dubuffet
The real function of art is to change mental patterns ... making new thought possible.
- Jean Dubuffet
