完整圖錄內容
In 1945 his admiration of layered graffiti on the walls surrounding Paris led him to produce a series called Les Murs, or The Walls, in which he emphasized the importance of the common man’s need to keep records. Dubuffet said “my art is an attempt to bring all disparaged values into the limelight.”
