Bibliography
Jean-Paul Riopelle’s abstract style shares features with both Arte Informale and Abstract Expressionism. In his effort to create a new, naive language, Jean Dubuffet found his inspiration in pictures by children and the mentally ill. He described their works and his own as art brut, raw art.
