Abstract

The beginning of the XX century showed an increasing interest in studies about the plastic expression of mental people, which generated changes in scientific and artistic fields. In the 40s, Jean Dubuffet, in France, and Mário Pedrosa, in Brazil, recognized and defended the artistic productions that deviated from the academy style and showed more spontaneity. Both protested against the idea of a psychopathological art, which allowed the elimination of the barrier between art and madness. The simultaneity and syntony between Pedrosa and Dubuffet allows us to establish a dialogue towards the posture and discussions raised by them.
