DUBUFFET Jean. LETTER TAPUSCRITE SIGNED to Robert GIRAUD with ORIGINAL DRAWING SIGNED by Gaston CHAISSAC. June 27, 1948. One and a half pages. Letter to Robert Giraud, poet-journalist and close friend of Robert Doisneau and Gaston Chaissac, concerning the activities of Art Brut:... It seems to us that it is urgent to give an energetic push to re-establish our Art Brut in its true positions, which have been somewhat adulterated in the course of the activity at the Drouin basement... to do this, it seems necessary first of all to remove all commercial character and all more or less commercial activity from our enterprise... Dubuffet attached to his letter an original ink drawing (10 x 14 cm) signed on the front by Chaissac (once owned by Giraud) and captioned on the back: I authorize the magazine Le Berceau to publish this drawing. G. Chaissac.
