Jean Dubuffet championed what he called "art brut"—raw, unpolished expression that ignored traditional rules of beauty. His bold lines, flattened forms, and rough textures give his work an energetic, almost graffiti-like presence. Dubuffet's ideas helped expand the definition of fine art and opened the door for many experimental movements.
