Linda Jacobson’s paintings represent a pure form of mysticism found in nature. They arise from her conviction that the world is a beneficent place. Even when the earth seems neutral or indifferent, it nevertheless contains a positive force for healing and growth. Jacobson’s paintings are landscapes yet they are abstract. This is her way of revealing that nature’s true character is absract. It is to be found in the force that permeates all things, imbuing life wth an elemental vitality. As a painter she rejects descriptive precision, favoring large movements and patterns to literal description. Her visual vocabulary alludes to Art Nouveau. As in this late 19th century art movement, Jacobson sees the world as animated by an organic force. Her curving, enfolded compositions resemble the lines of psychic energy that permeate fin-de-siecle Symbolism. The ancient Chinese believed that a successful landscape invited the veiwer to take an imaginary journey into the painting. In a similar way, Jacobson’s landscapes offer access for the sympathetic soul willing to enter a realm of beauty and fulfillment.

The exhibition JORN INTERNATIONAL focused on the years after COBRA, where Jorn had his international breakthrough. The late Jorn became more expressive and abstract in its visual idiom. He experimented with other art media than painting, including collage-torn (décollages) and sculptures in ceramic, bronze and marble. These works were also shown at the exhibition.

Asger Jorn: The Open Hide offers a concise overview of the diverse accomplishments of Danish COBRA artist Asger Jorn (1914-1973). The book comprises over 75 images of Jorn's work, each with complete provenance, exhibition and literature history. A comprehensive biography of the artist is also included, along with photographs and other archival material. For Jorn, a founding member of the Cobra and Situationist International movements, art was an expression of life, of activism, of an unedited freedom not confined to studio practice. "An Asger Jorn can be garish, florid, tasteless, forced, cute, flatulent, overemphatic; it can never be vulgar," wrote art historian T.J. Clark, who once declared Jorn "the greatest painter of the 1950s." As the Cobra artists undergo widespread critical reassessment, this volume helps to retrieve and contextualize Jorn's significance.
