Detailed Description

Dilletantism is a term used to describe a certain type of painting that is characterized by its lack of precision and by the artist’s apparent lack of interest in the subject matter. This type of painting is often associated with the work of amateur painters or with artists who are not formally trained. Dilletantism is often seen as a negative term, but some artists have embraced it as a way to describe their own work. The French artist Jean Dubuffet is one of the most famous proponents of dilletantism, and he even created a society called the Association des Arts Décoratifs et Dilletants to promote the style. Other notable artists who have been associated with dilletantism include the Italian painter Francesco Clemente and the American artist Robert Rauschenberg.
