Lucebert

Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Lucebert is a renowned Dutch poet-painter, often cited as one of the biggest inspirations for a lot of the Dutch poetry that has followed his own. Lucebert found his initial success as a member of the Experimentele Groep Holland, which later went on to merge with the much bigger force of CoBrA.

The oft-quoted line of poetry ‘Alles van waarde is weerloos (everything of value is defenceless) is shared through a variety of different mediums, most notably as a neon sign atop a building in Rotterdam. Lucebert’s poetry was free expression of his own personality and views on life, and was often a blistering attack on the hypocrisy and pitfalls of societal respectability at the time – his first public appearance as a poet in Amsterdam was executed with the reading of a poem ‘Love-letter to our tortured bride, Indonesia’ - a direct and disparaging response to the Dutch military aggression towards Indonesia in 1948.

What is the CoBrA movement?

CoBrA stands for Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam; this group was formed with a desire to break away from the then existing movements. The Western society criticisms made it experimentally evolve to become a reputable international movement. CoBrA was started by Karel Appel, Joseph Noiret, Corneille, Christian Dotremont, Constant and Asger Jorn on November 8th 1948 at Notre Dame Cafe, Paris where its manifesto was signed. Their unifying factor was the need for freedom of both form and color and their working was based on experiment and spontaneity.
