« Jean Dubuffet ressemble à ces découvertes qui changent la vie. On avait longtemps cherché un tableau qui vous amusât et qui fût pourtant de la grande peinture. Eh bien ! on l’a trouvé, ou plutôt Dubuffet l’a trouvé pour nous, avec tant d’évidence qu’il n’y a pas à hésiter. »
“Jean Dubufet is like one of those discoveries which change one’s life. For a long time we’ve been trying to find a picture which you would enjoy but which would also be a great work of art. Well, we’ve found it – or rather, Dubuffet has found it for us, and there’s so much evidence that we have no reason to hesitate”.
Jean Paulhan (1944)
