Book Synopsis
An examination of the city and its inhabitants in the pioneering work of French artist Jean Dubuffet. Dubuffet and the City: People, Place and Urban Space, written and edited by renowned scholar Dr. Sophie Berrebi (University of Amsterdam), is the first in-depth study to address the work of Jean Dubuffet (190184) in relation to the theme of the city. The book examines how the city plays a role in the formation and unfolding of Dubuffet's practice and imagination as a material, a source, and a vehicle for ideas. It analyzes works in which the artist depicts city dwellers, sites and urban spaces, and discusses his architectural projects from the 1960s and 1970s against the background of heated debates in the field of urbanism.
