During 1948-1951 a group of artists from Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands organized and issued a manifesto under the collective title “Cobra.” The group was involved within the context of the social, political, economic, and cultural chaos of postwar Europe, and also reponded to a variety of theories and ideas which had gained currency during the first half of the century. This comprehensive book presents various esways and manifestos that provide the philosophical underpinnings of this short, tragic, yet powerful movement.

A collection of articles written by Asger Jorn between 1954-1957. He discusses the position of art in relation to science, technology, philosophy, social problems and politics in the 19th and 20th centuries. The book was printed in a small French edition in 1958, but only now has a full English translation complete with notes that place Jorn’s thinking in a context provided by the Jorn scholar Peter Shield.
