Brutalism
Brutalism or Outsider Art. Art critic Rogger Cardinal invented the term outsider art in 1972 as an English synonym for art brut, which was a label created by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture. Dubuffet focused particularly on art by insane-asylum inmates. There are typefaces one could label as "brutalist", such as several of Ray Larabie's creations---Ugocranis, Laserjeks and Vigo, for example---and the wonderful Kompressor by Frantisek Storm. Rough unfinished stencils are also sometimes labeled brutalist. Take for example, Depot Trapharet 2D or Dripps (Gert Wiescher). The architectural process Béton brut involves concrete left unfinished or roughly-finished after pouring and then exposed to dry. The use of béton brut was pioneered by Auguste Perret and Le Corbusier and flourished as a part of the brutalist architecture of the 1960s and 70s. |
