Asger Jorn 1914 - 1973
Représenté par:
Callewaert Vanlangendonck Gallery
Asger Jorn was one of the best-known Danish pioneers of the CoBrA movement, an art movement that existed only between 1948 and 1951, and is considered the theorist and one of the movement's most expressionist adepts.
Jorn emerged from the second half of the 1950s as an unparalleled colorist, partly through the addition of other materials such as gold dust or enamel paint to intensify his colors, and a masterful paint controller, rather because he also practiced that paint control on other media such as ceramics, collage and etching. Through these skills, Jorn achieved a balanced expressionist oeuvre during those years.
Because of his rigorous engagement in painting, art theory, ceramics, etching, cultural history as well as editorship, art collecting and networking, Jorn can be considered
one of the most important postwar Expressionist artists. He consistently sought to connect art and life. 'Art is life form: beautiful, ugly, impressive, disgusting, meaningless, grim, contradictory, etcetera. It makes no difference, as long as it is life, vigorously pouring forth.'
