Van de Loo 230. Color lithograph printed by Beaudet, Paris // L'oubli by Asger Jorn is a dynamic lithograph created in 1960-61, reflecting the artist's expressive and abstract style. Produced in an edition of 30 and printed by Beaudet in Paris, this piece uses an energetic blend of red, blue, and green strokes layered over a neutral background. The composition is chaotic yet deliberate, with sweeping, gestural lines and splashes of color that suggest a tension between order and spontaneity. Jorn’s technique reflects the influence of the CoBrA movement, which valued raw, unfiltered creativity and often evoked a sense of primal energy. L'oubli captures the essence of forgetting or erasure, evoking layers of memory and emotion through its complex visual interplay.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
