Art brut : Dans l'intimité d'une collection. Donation Decharme du Centre Pompidou

For forty-five years, through a series of chance encounters and discoveries, collector Bruno Decharme has been gathering these creations, which originated outside the recognised art world but now constitute an important part of art history. With more than 300 works, the exhibition explores the history of art brut. These works come from Bruno Decharme's donation to the Musée National d'Art Moderne at the Centre Pompidou in 2021. Organised like a puzzle, reflecting the kaleidoscope of themes and perspectives brought together by research into art brut, the exhibition bears witness to the unexpected creative richness that the human spirit can unleash when it breaks free from the norm.
