AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This colorful graphic by Jan Cobbaert is built up from bold black lines and large fields in bright red and white.
Between the irregular shapes, a stylized human figure appears at the center, surrounded by round, organic motifs that resemble faces, animals, or fruits.
The free drawing style, simplified forms, and playful distortions give the work a spontaneous, almost childlike energy.
Figuration and abstraction blend into one another, inviting the viewer to continually discover new figures and shapes.
Jan Cobbaert (1909–1995) was a Belgian artist from Heverlee who was active as a painter, draftsman, graphic artist, sculptor and ceramist. He studied at the academies of Leuven and Brussels and received the Prix de Rome for painting in 1937. Cobbaert's work evolved from a figurative, expressionist idiom to a freer style in which CoBrA influences are recognizable; human figures, animals, nature and the child’s worldview regularly recur.
In addition to painting, he devoted himself intensively to graphic art, including lithography and serigraphy, especially again from the late 1960s.
