| Collection de l’Art Brut Creative genius Jean Dubuffet began gathering works by self-taught creators in 1945, and later donated them in 1945 to the city of Lausanne, which, in 1976, inaugurated the Collection de l’Art Brut at the Château de Beaulieu. This “collection of raw art” invites visitors to reflect on and understand these artists who are not artists. |
