Gouache on paper. 'Grisaille à trous bleus.' Signed and dated 1976. Maurice Wyckaert’s Sans titre (1976) is a gouache on paper that explores abstraction through layered, organic forms in a restrained palette of blues, greys, and black. The subtitle “Grisaille à trous bleus” reflects the interplay between muted tonal fields and vivid blue openings that punctuate the composition. Broad, gestural brushstrokes create textured surfaces resembling natural elements—rock, foliage, or flowing water—while sharp contrasts and irregular contours suggest movement and depth. Signed and dated by the artist, the work exemplifies Wyckaert’s post-Cobra interest in expressive landscapes distilled into semi-abstract visual rhythms.

What is the CoBrA movement?
CoBrA stands for Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam; the group was formed with a desire to break away from the existing art movements of the time. Their critique of Western society led them to experiment and evolve into a significant international movement. CoBrA was founded on November 8, 1948, at the Notre Dame Café in Paris, where its manifesto was signed by Karel Appel, Joseph Noiret, Corneille, Christian Dotremont, Constant, and Asger Jorn. The group was united by a shared commitment to freedom in both form and color, and their work emphasized experimentation and spontaneity.
