Cobra. A Brief History

Willemijn Stokvis • Boek • hardback

• Samenvatting
  The artists' group Cobra (1948-1951) was the most important avant-garde
  movement in post-war Europe following the Second World War. The founding
  members came from Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. They comprised,
  among others, Asger Jorn, Pierre Alechinsky, Constant, Corneille and Karel Appel,
  and their spontaneous and direct manner of painting, their rebellious theories
  and broad spectrum of creative expression inspired many other artists.
  The experiment was crucial to Cobra. The artists worked without a preordained
  plan and with a great deal of fantasy and colour, much the same way as children.
  During the creative process they let themselves be influenced by myths,
  children's drawings, folk art, prehistory, Eastern calligraphy, primitive art and art
  by mental patients. They also collaborated on one canvas, on one sheet of paper,
  and combined words and images in a liberated way.
  Cobra has been extremely meaningful especially to the Dutch art world and was
  very influential in many European countries.
  In Cobra. A Brief History, Willemijn Stokvis, Cobra expert and author of many
  publications about the group, sketches a clear and concise account not only of
  the movement's history, but also of the relationship of this European movement
  to international events in art. The unique visual material with which this book is
  furthermore illustrated makes it a gem for every devotee of modern art.
