His controversial materials and mark-making solidified his legacy as an iconoclastic figure in the canon of postwar European paintings, and his work has been exhibited and collected all over the world.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This is the first book to be published on Dubuffet’s early work in painting and sculpture in more than two decades. Organized by Mark Rosenthal, the exhibition focuses on Dubuffet’s work from 1943 to 1959, and emphasizes the artist’s anticultural approach in his depiction of subjects and his use of unorthodox materials. Several works by the French painter are on loan from private collections and museums.\u003cb\u003eMark Rosenthal \u003c\/b\u003eis a curator, author, and art historian and the adjunct curator for contemporary art for the Detroit Institute of the Arts. \u003cb\u003eKent Minturn \u003c\/b\u003eis a visiting assistant professor at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts, and was director of Columbia’s MA Program in Modern Art, Critical and Curatorial Studies. \u003cb\u003eAnny Aviram \u003c\/b\u003eis a conservator at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, where she specializes in the treatment of modern and contemporary paintings.","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46299702788325,"sku":"NP9780847858514","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780847858514.jpg?v=1767730368","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/jean-dubuffet-anticultural-positions-isbn-9780847858514","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
