description In 1947, while Malraux had the first essay in the Psychologie de l’art series, entitled Le musée imaginaire, published by Éditions Albert Skira, Jean Dubuffet and some associates opened the Foyer de l’Art Brut in the basement of the Galerie René Drouin in the place Vendôme in Paris. The two men, who knew each other, used photographic documentation to assert their conceptions of art.

In this construction, photographic reproduction played an essential role.
