Abstract: CULTURE AS ANTI-VALUE? ON THE RECEPTION OF JEAN DUBUFFET’S TERM ART BRUT IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC The article describes the process of reception of Jean Dubuffet’s term art brut in Czech culture. The author’s main objective is to show how representatives of Czech culture (Karel Teige, Alena Nádvorníková, Jan Švankmajer) adapted the term to their native soil and to describe the most important factors that determined its adoption, popularity and modification. These factors included, in particular, the rich tradition of the Czech avant-garde and the closely related Prague structuralism (Jan Mukařovský), the deepened interest in non-professional art (e.g. the original terminological tradition represented especially by Josef Čapek and his concept of the humblest art), the traditions of Czech spiritualism.
