Art Brut Cuba

This Volume Accompanies The Art Brut Cuba Exhibition Organised By Collection De Lart Brut In Lausanne And Features Essays By Cuban Authors And Other Experts, Reproductions Of Works And Previously Unpublished Letters From The Collections Archives. The Exhibition Represents A Voyage Of Discovery That Explores The World Of Outsider Art In Cuba More Than 40 Years After The First Exhibition, Which Came About As A Result Of Jean Dubuffets Desire To Gather Together In Collection De Lart Brut Works By Self-taught Cuban Artists Assembled By His Friend Samuel Feijo, The Curator Of The 1983 Exhibition. Being An Island With A Distinctive History That Has Long Been Isolated For Political And Economic Reasons, Cuba Is A Fertile Breeding Ground For Artistic Creations Unaffected By The Traditional Artistic Influences Of The World Outside.
