There is a close link between one of the most important post-war French artists, Dubuffet, and Venice, which was celebrated with two important exhibitions in the lagoon city that marked his career: at Palazzo Grassi in 1964 and at the French pavilion of the Biennale in 1984. Here the artist presented the three most important cycles of his work: Célébration du sol, L’Hourloupe, Mires.
