Jean Dubuffet

Week of Apr. 30, 1973
A retrospective on French artist Jean Dubuffet opens to critical acclaim at New York's Guggenheim Museum. With his "raw art" — in some cases consisting of children's scribbles, primal imagery, and distorted nudes — Dubuffet "has chewed up whole tracts of land once thought to be outside culture," writes TIME.
