“It was CoBrA that made me come together as an artist. What CoBrA meant to me? It was just so natural to me. Back then, there was simply more freedom in Danish art than in the art of other countries. More poetry.” (Quote by Alechinsky in “COBRA – fra hoved til hale” (COBRA – from head to tail), pp. 72–73. Copenhagen, 1971)
