What are they telling us? Impossible to say! It seems many art brut creators are intent on using and inventing languages; as though the ones we already have were insufficient. What are they seeking? What are they missing? Were the first, incomprehensible, words ever uttered on Earth those of a primal language, still to be deciphered, in the same way that the source of this language — the elusive “Other” from which all else stems — has yet to be discovered? What are these experimenters hoping to reveal? The eternal mystery of origin, the key to all existence. No other art brut production is as mysterious or as fascinating as writings. Their incoherence makes them difficult to read but their graphic, rhythmic or linguistic form releases sonorities that resonate with the raw material of language — an audible material with no meaning whose meaning we feel compelled to find.
