Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the history of a French concept, “art brut”. The author intends to analyse the different phases of the definition of this concept and the institutionalization of the art forms covered by it. The analysis proceeds in three steps to the final conclusion, presenting the birth of the first collection dedicated to outsider art, analysing the different definitions of art brut from Jean Dubuffet to Céline Delavaux, and presenting the institutional profile of the Halle-Saint-Pierre museum from Paris. The conclusion is that art brut gained much in interest and has become one of the major domains of contemporary visual creation.
