Hommage à Dubuffet - František Chaun
František Chaun (1921 - 1981) was bound with Jean Dubuffet by lasting personal friendship - a friendship based on a spiritual and artistic nature common to both. Since the end of the sixties they corresponded, later they started visiting one another.
Twenty years older Dubuffet could have suited Chaun's nature in all kinds of ways, nevertheless it was mainly his emancipated stance, love for stylized naivism and primitivism (art brut), and a "total playfulness" leading one time to a not-committal (or seemingly not-committal) game, other time to a highly and unmistakably serious expression. Dubuffet also became a dedicatee of one of Chaun's compositions - Double Concerto for violin, violoncello and chamber orchestra "Hommage a Dubuffet" from 1870. It is a work of all the characteristical signs of Chaun's artistic expression.
