Art Brut works, often created on the fringes of society and discovered by chance or through people close to the artists, are today a fundamental part of art history. For 45 years, collector Bruno Decharme has been collecting these creations born outside the official art world. The exhibition Art Brut. In the Intimacy of a Collection at the Centre Pompidou presents over 300 works from his donation to the Musée National d’Art Moderne. Organized like a puzzle, the exhibition explores the variety of themes and perspectives of Art Brut, revealing the incredible creative force of the human spirit outside of convention.
