During 1948-1951 a group of artists from three Northern European countries organized and issued a manifesto under the collective title “CoBrA” from Copenhagen, Brussels & Amsterdam. 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. Cobra disbanded as a formal entity in 1951, but the works of this exhibtion, which range from 1940 to the early 1970’s, show that its brief existence had a tremendous impact on the later artists who participated in it, as well as on following generations.
