A new exhibition at the American Folk Art museum explores his ethos. Our managing editor, Nicole Rudick, explains: \u201cDubuffet advocated on behalf of art brut in famously eloquent pamphlets, speeches, and manifestos. In 1951, he gave a talk at the Art Institute of Chicago called \u2018Anticultural Positions,\u2019 which set out his antiformalist, expressive style and his dissatisfaction with Western conceptions of beauty. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/daily\/2015\/12\/30\/art-of-instinct\/\" target=\"_blank\">He rejected the notion that certain objects are more beautiful than others, advocating instead for the idea that \u2018there is no ugly object nor ugly person in this world and that beauty does not exist anywhere, but that any object is able to become fascinating and illuminating<\/a>.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<li>Today, literary blogs such as this one face competition from their fiercest adversary yet: Bill Gates. His blog, Gates Notes, features a thriving book reviews section\u2014and Gates, unlike all those self-aggrandizing show-off critics you\u2019ve grown accustomed to, endeavors \u201cto fill his reviews with bits of information he hopes people will consider, even if they don\u2019t end up reading the book. \u2018I read textbooks related to global health but they are pretty technical for a general audience, so I generally don\u2019t review them,\u2019 he said \u2026 \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/01\/03\/fashion\/bill-gates-the-billionaire-book-critic.html\" target=\"_blank\">I like to share what I learn from books like that because I know most people won\u2019t read the whole thing but some will read an 800-word review of it<\/a>.\u2019\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Conventional wisdom maintains that commercial fiction is vastly more sentimental than \u201cserious\u201d literary fiction\u2014and that eschewing sentimentality is a good way to separate the wheat from the chaff. Academics have tested that notion using sentiment analysis, mapping the number of positive and negative words in literary novels: \u201cThere appears to be an assumption at work among the canon that reality is harsh and positivity distorts the truth \u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/126123\/quantifying-weepy-bestseller\" target=\"_blank\">It\u2019s not that emotions are absent from the most serious of serious literature. Rather, what is missing is a kind of explicit articulation of belief<\/a>, what we might call, for lack of a better word, <em>conviction<\/em>. Over time we seem to institutionally value novels that downplay the clarity of their own beliefs. This makes a good deal of sense\u2014novels that endure do so because they represent more open belief systems, ones that allow readers across broader stretches of time to engage with them and explore their own beliefs.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Free yourself from the tyranny of choice. Submit to the awesome power of fate. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2015\/dec\/23\/japanese-bookshop-stocks-only-one-book-at-a-time\" target=\"_blank\">Visit this Tokyo bookstore, where only one title is for sale each week<\/a>. (Right now it\u2019s Masaru Tatsuki\u2019s photo anthology <em>Fish-Man<\/em>.) \u201cThis bookstore that sells only one book could also be described as \u2018a bookstore that organises an exhibition derived from a single book,\u2019 \u201d says the proprietor, Yoshiyuki Morioka. \u201cFor instance, when selling a book on flowers, in the store could be exhibited a flower that actually appears in the book. Also, I ask the authors and editors to be at the bookstore for as much time as possible. This is an attempt to make the two-dimensional book into three-dimensional ambience and experience. I believe that the customers, or readers, should feel as though they are entering \u2018inside a book.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<li>In 1939, when he was nine, the historian Gerhard Weinberg fled Germany to escape Hitler. Now Weinberg is eighty-seven and advocating for the first new German edition of Hitler\u2019s <em>Mein Kampf<\/em> since 1945, along with its little-known sequel. \u201cIn 2003, Weinberg wrote, \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/a-historian-who-fled-the-nazis-and-still-wants-us-to-read-hitler\" target=\"_blank\">Germany and the rest of the world have not yet come close to coming to terms with Hitler as a person, as leader of a great nation, and as a symbol<\/a>.\u2019 The publication history of his books seems to support Weinberg\u2019s point. In 1961, publishers were afraid of Hitler\u2019s second book. In 2013, the state of Bavaria showed that it was still afraid of his first. The lack of critical editions didn\u2019t prevent readers from accessing Hitler\u2019s ideas\u2014instead, it prevented historians from shaping the way these books are remembered.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the painter and sculptor Jean Dubuffet, the most profound art was \u201cart brut\u201d\u2014created from chaos and madness by the mentally ill.
