Review: Of all the books I have looked at on Jean Dubuffet, this one, in my opinion, is the best. There is a good combination of his writings and speeches as well as plates of his work. Dubuffet's writings are just as important as his artwork itself. This book combines the two. ... . I check it out of my library on a regular basis- that's the closest I can get to owning it. I would rather spend ... on art supplies than buy a book.

Review: This is THE book to have on Dubuffet. It's a great showcase of his art and writing. Just reading his short vignettes about art will inspire you. The art is reproduced well. I bought this book back in the late 80's and it's still one of the most important books in my collection. It's worth the money.
