Asger Jorn 1914-1973 Waves
Est: $500 - $1,000
Artist: Asger Jorn 1914-1973 Title: Waves Origin: Danish, 1957 Medium: Oil on Board Dimensions: 24x19in Condition: Excellent Additional Information: A painting of waves crashing over creating implied movement throughout the piece. Houseboats are tipped from the large waves rolling by. Abstract figures that are larger than the waves peer through. The painting is hand-signed and dated. The painting isn't framed. Asger Jorn was a painter, sculptor, ceramicist, and author. He was the founder of the Avant Gard art movement. His works are shown in museums around the world. Jorn was a founding member of COBRA—a loose coalition of painters taking their name from the initials of their respective cities of origin (Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam)—who were interested in cultivating a neo-expressionism characterized by an ingenuous naiveté and a brut figurative bent. Jorn was also a primary backer and participant in the Marxist, post-Surrealist Situationist International (SI). The COBRA painters, which included Alex Jawalensky and Karel Appel, channeled the vital whimsy of children's drawings expressed in high-key slashing color, while Situationists were preoccupied with reacting to and critiquing the political and cultural absurdities of the Marshall Plan's economic and social reformation of post-World War Two Europe.
