From leading auction houses worldwide, Alfonso Ossorio on Mutualart
For Alfonso Ossorio and Jean Dubuffet ‘the art of the insane and the tormented, the art of the institutionalized and imprisoned, became an art of liberation representing freedom in a claustrophobic world. The ‘formlessness’ of Raw Art was as much a confirmation for them, at mid-century, as the traditional formality of African art had been for the Cubists at the end of the [previous] century.
