Chaissac was a farmer, handyman
and artist who spent much of his
life in rural France. His writing
attracted the attention of Jean
Paulhan and Raymond Queneau.
He went on to produce a substantial body of visual material,
including drawings, paintings and
sculptures.
Chaissac saw himself
as a modern folk artist and this
is what perhaps led to a rift with
Dubuffet, who considered the
production too informed simply to
be defined as
art brut.For details and sales, please contact the gallery at
