Cobra: A History of a European Avant-Garde Movement - by Willemijn Stokvis (Hardcover)

The Cobra movement was a revolutionary art group that emerged in post-war Europe, combining creative freedom and social engagement.

Led by artists such as Asger Jorn, Pierre Alechinsky, and Karel Appel, the group valued experimentation and unbridled expression, manifested in vibrant, emotional paintings that provided a powerful counterpoint to the Abstract Expressionists in the US.

This comprehensive volume, fully updated from the original 1974 edition, presents the history of Cobra through primary documents, conversations, and correspondence with the artists themselves.

With a foreword by leading authority Willemijn Stokvis, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of modern art.
