Jean Dubuffet Photographic AlbumBetween 1945 and 1970, Jean Dubuffet began to document his art brut collection with photographs of the works. He also photographed other works that were of interest to him. He collated all of these photographs in a series of 14 albums which have been preserved since 1976 in the archives of the Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne. Under the direction of Collection de l'Art Brut director Sarah Lombardi, in collaboration with Vincent Monod, this 824 page edition of Dubuffet's photographic albums includes texts by Baptiste Brun, Nicolas Garnier, Karoline Lewandowska, Jean-Hubert Martin, Jérôme Pierrat and Michel Thévoz. Priced at CHF 150, it is available to purchase at www.artbrut.ch.

Featured Artist: Ionel Talpazan (1955 – 2015)portrait Aarne Anton A self-taught visionary artist from Romania, Ionel Talpazan lived in New York where he filled his small studio apartment with art inspired by his visions of UFOs. Having filled the space with huge brightly coloured canvases, sculptures, and large diagrams revealing the inner working of UFOs, Talpazan estimated he had created more than 1,000 works. UFO: Art & Science, 2002, Henry Boxer Gallery At the age of seven Talpazan ran away from his foster parents, having had a foster mother who drank heavily and used to beat him. Whilst hiding in a ditch beneath a metal grate in a field, he saw an otherworldly blue light surround him. He was completely altered by this incident, feeling certain afterwards that the experience had been associated with a UFO, and by the age of twelve he had made hundreds of UFO drawings. UFO, 2002, Henry Boxer Gallery Talpazan often wrote his thoughts and theories around his images, crowding the surface with text written in Romanian, English and his own hybrid language. Depicting cosmic wonder and freedom allowed him to escape the difficulties of his life. Talpazan viewed his work as a combination of art and science and he dreamt of sharing his visions and theories with NASA scientists and government officials, in order to explore and develop UFO technologies. Talpazan is featured in our Outsider Art Sourcebook and in Raw Vision 45, both currently half price! |
