Entre Art des fous et Art brut / Between Art of the Mad and Art Brut (book) by Dr. Anne-Marie Dubois, scientific director of the Museum. Paperback book with flaps of 160 pages. Exhibition catalog 2017. Museum of Art and History of the Sainte-Anne Hospital, co-published with Somogy. New book in blister pack. French text.

Beyond the craze of the artistic and psychiatric world for “the art of the mad”, then for “art brut”, the Sainte-Anne Collection has always managed to maintain its singularity, constituting a support for reflection on the identity of the man who engages in a creative process, whether he is ill or not.

This book presents the works, sometimes very old and rare, which are at the origin of this collection. They are remarkable for the multiplicity of their styles and intentions, and among them, some allowed, in the years 1949-1950, the artist Jean Dubuffet and the doctor Robert Volmat to confront their experiences of art and madness, through the unprecedented presentation of common artists.
