Don Norris's Premiere Artist Portfolio
Welcome to Don Norris's Portfolio.
Statement by Christopher Gulick, Agent for Art Contractor, representing Don Norris:
Art Brut; (adj. French; l’art brut) term coined in 1945 by French painter Jean Dubuffet, also known as “Outsider Art”, “Visionary Art”, Art of Trauma” and “Art of the Insane”.
Art Brut has gained immense popularity in galleries and museums throughout Europe especially in France and Germany. Dubuffet stated that the works of such people represent a most extreme form of individualism, in that these artists create for themselves rather than for the public.
I discovered Norris by chance in the spring of 2000, on unrelated business. Glancing his rather modest apartment, I noticed the typical bachelor décor--overflowing ashtrays and cat hair on...everything. Pocket cash wadded up next to the wadded up McDonalds wrappers on the coffee table and a sleeping bag on the couch. You know...typical. Stark organization caught my periphery, clearly demarcated from the domestic chaos. At first I notice about a dozen neatly stack paintings and a few sketch books quarantined from the cigarette ash and cat hair.
I felt partly stunned upon realizing there weren’t merely a dozen paintings, but several hundred!
I attempted to strike up a conversation... |
