Cobra: A Revolutionary European Avant-Garde Movement
Wednesday, September 5, 2012
Fifth Ave at 89th Street
New York City
Dutch art historian Willemijn Stokvis discussed the radical postwar Cobra movement, which was part of the international tendency toward un art autre (art of another kind). Inspired by the art of so-called primitives, children, and the mentally ill, the group, which included Pierre Alechinsky, Karel Appel, and Asger Jorn, fostered idealistic, Marxist-inspired plans for a new folk art.

As a tribute to one of Belgium's greatest living artists, an exhibition featuring a selection of Alechinsky's works on paper was mounted in 2022, featuring some 270 works donated to the Royal Museums in the past, as well as a number of works from more recent exceptional donations.
The exhibition reveals how Alechinsky, with a keen sense of technical experimentation, explores his own imagination. In this way, he elevates the act of drawing - and thus the drawing itself - to the core of his rich and multifaceted oeuvre.
Passant,
regarde ce grand arbre
et à travers lui
il peut suffire.
Car même déchiré, souillé
l’arbre des rues,
c’est toute la nature,
tout le ciel,
l’oiseau s’y pose,
le vent y bouge, le soleil
y dit le même espoir malgré
la mort.
Philosophe,
as-tu chance d’avoir l’arbre
dans ta rue,
tes pensées seront moins ardues,
tes yeux plus libres,
tes mains plus désireuses
de moins de nuit.
Yves Bonnefoy
(peinture de Pierre Alechinsky)

Pierre Alechinsky (born 19 October 1927) is a Belgian artist. He has lived and worked in France since 1951. His work is related to tachisme, abstract expressionism, and lyrical abstraction.
Alechinsky was born in Schaerbeek. In 1944 he attended the l'Ecole nationale supérieure d'Architecture et des Arts décoratifs de La Cambre, Brussels where he studied illustration techniques, printing and photography. In 1945 he discovered the work of Henri Michaux, Jean Dubuffet and developed a friendship with the art critic Jacques Putman. In 1949 he joined Christian Dotremont, Karel Appel, Constant, Jan Nieuwenhuys and Asger Jorn to form the art group Cobra. He participated both with the Cobra exhibitions and went to Paris to study engraving at Atelier 17 under the guidance of Stanley William Hayter in 1951. In 1954 he had his first exhibition in Paris and started to become interested in oriental calligraphy. In the early 1950s he was the Paris correspondent for the Japanese journal Bokubi (the joy of ink). In 1955, encouraged by Henri Storck and Luc de Heusch, he left for Japan with his wife. He exhibited Night, 1952 (Ohara Museum of Art, Kurashiki) and made a film: Japanese Calligraphy – Christian Dotremont would write the commentary with music by André Souris.
By 1960 he had exhibited in London, Bern and at the Venice Biennial, and then in Pittsburgh, New York, Amsterdam and Silkeborg as his international reputation grew.
He worked with Walasse Ting and continued to be close to Christian Dotremont. He also developed links with André Breton.
His international career continued throughout the seventies and by 1983 he became Professor of painting at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris. In 1994 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Free University of Brussels, and in 1995 one of his designs was used on a Belgian stamp.
His works are held in the collections of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, the Tate, Museum Ludwig in Cologne, the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (Wikipedia).

My close friends, Marlene Wallin and Jan Cox.
This page is for links for VIRGINIA.
These photos appear in the huge book on Jan Cox by Claire Van Damme, called "Jan Cox: Living One's Art". 2008.
I can't find photo credits in the book, but this one must have been taken by Jan.
___
VIRGINIA- another painter to check out:
Jan's friend- painter, PIERRE ALECHINSKY.
It's only black and white, but this painting is looking mighty good:
blog.cmoa.org/2015/04/art-of-the-people-pierre-alechinsky...
- love the paint.
___
- Pierre Alechinsky:
Pron: al-eh-SHIN-sky. - CH is pronounced SH. that's how Jan pronounced his name.
- i was blown away by his amazing, frenetic drawings. the painting in the first Alechinsky link, above, is the closest i've found, so far.
___
- Jan and Pierre were both members of the COBRA movement.
- ( COBRA: Copenhagen, BRussels, Amsterdam. )
___
THE WEDDING PAINTING.
This is the guy (on the right) who painted it:
www.flickr.com/photos/doneastwest/19489038388/in/datepost...
- don't ask me what Jan and these guys are goofing off about.
- ( because i just ended a sentence with a preposition. )
- the closest we're ever going to get to the double portrait is the image of the couple in my painting of the Resurrection:
www.flickr.com/photos/doneastwest/6528610933/in/album-721...
- that is Ann, for sure. the male figure is not specific (doesn't look like me).
___
Marlene's daughter is fashion model, Dalarna.

VIRGINIA- [ i'm slightly jealous when i look at this picture of Marlene. haha ]
- here is a picture of ME and Marlene on the beach:

Ann loved Marlene as well.
Marlene and I stayed in touch over the years- periodically having four hour conversations on the phone, between Boston and California.
