Greenberg on Jean Dubuffet

June 16, 2011

More of the same, from the same 1946 review:

“Dubuffet is the only French painter who, to my knowledge, has consulted Klee, but he has made of Klee’s influence something monumental and far more physical, and he has taken advantage of the license won by Klee’s whimsy and by children’s art for the purpose of a savage attack on the human image.”

Right on target, and brilliantly phrased.
