The Collection de l'Art Brut

The Collection de l'Art Brut, located in Lausanne, Switzerland, showcases "Art Brut," or "raw art," which refers to artwork created by self-taught, outsider artists who often work outside mainstream art norms. Founded by artist Jean Dubuffet in the mid-20th century, it emphasizes creativity fueled by personal expression rather than academic training. The collection includes pieces from various backgrounds, highlighting emotions, experiences, and unique perspectives. It serves to celebrate the authenticity and spontaneity of artistic expression, offering insight into the minds of individuals who may be marginalized by conventional art institutions.
