The artists’ group Cobra (1948-1951) was the most important avant-garde movement in post-war Europe. 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.
