Beyond the artistic and psychiatric world's enthusiasm for "the art of the mad", then for "art brut", the Sainte-Anne Collection has always managed to maintain its singularity, as a support for reflection on the identity of the man who engages in a creative process, whether he is ill or not. This book presents the works, sometimes very old and rare, which are at the origin of this collection. They are remarkable for the multiplicity of their styles and their intentions. Some allowed, in 1949 and 1950, the artist Jean Dubuffet and the psychiatrist Robert Volmat to compare their respective conceptions of art and madness, through the unprecedented presentation of the same artists.
