Interesting, but not what I expected,
This review is from: Jean Dubuffet: Works, Writings, Interviews (Essentials Poligrafa) (Hardcover)
As per the title, I got this book mainly for the writings of Jean Dubuffet. Instead, I found that most of the text is written by authors Valérie Da Costa and Fabrice Hergott about the artist's work and life. It's very interesting, but not what I had in mind. Included are also the text that Dubuffet wrote for a catalogue of an exhibition of Art Brut; a transcript of his lecture at the Arts Club in Chicago; his notes for a television interview; and the transcript of a radio interview. It sounds like a lot, but in reality, only a relatively small number of pages is devoted to the actual words of the man. There are also several dozen color reproductions of his work. The image quality is very decent, but not outstanding. Often the text is interrupted by several pages of photographs of his work, which makes it a little bit distracting and hard to follow. I'm probably being picky, though. If you buy this book with full knowledge of all these issues, it's likely that you will enjoy it.
