Dubuffet

Dubuffet (1959) by Michel Ragon – Evergreen Gallery Edition
Offered by Crappy Old Books

Step into the raw, rebellious world of Jean Dubuffet with this 1959 monograph by Michel Ragon, published as part of the influential Evergreen Gallery series. Ragon, an art critic deeply embedded in post-war avant-garde circles, captures the spirit of Dubuffet’s radical rejection of artistic convention and embrace of what he called Art Brut—a rough, unrefined aesthetic drawn from graffiti, outsider art, and the textures of everyday life.

This vintage edition features striking reproductions of Dubuffet’s work alongside Ragon’s passionate and incisive commentary. A cult classic for collectors, it’s the kind of battered beauty only Crappy Old Books would love enough to rescue. Dog-eared, maybe. Brilliant, definitely.

Own a piece of post-war art history—scruffy, spirited, and unrepentantly bold.

Nice condition.
