The Balance of Opposites
The Belgian graphic artist and painter Pierre Alechinsky (b. 1927) had three intense years with the group of the far more experienced CoBrA artists. He joined the CoBrA as a mere 22-year-old artist who had yet to formulate an idiom of his own. He was therefore probably also the artist on whom CoBrA had the greatest formal impact. Alechinsky was particularly absorbed by the theories and the thinking surrounding the group’s joint artistic work and in the publication of the group’s most important mouthpiece – the CoBrA journal.
