If you add something to a painting, never let it be for aesthetic reasons. Only let it be for reasons of expression.
- Asger Jorn

Asger Jorn was a Danish painter, ceramic artist, sculptor and author from the years just before World War II into the 1970s. He was a student at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, from 1937 until 1942, in Copenagen. Later, Asger Jorn was one of the artists who founded the Situationist International and COBRA, an avant-garde movement. The largest collection of Jorn works today appears in Silkeborg, Denmark, in the Museum Jorn. When Asger Jorn painted, he did so in oil on canvas, and over the course of his career he made more than 2,500 total works - including ceramics, drawing, prints, sculptures, collages and tapestries. His books include "Luck and Chance: Dagger and Guitar," "Value and Economy" and "the Natural Order." He spent most of his life railing against establishments, whether in government, the Danish Communist Party or even the world of art. In 1964, he received a Guggenheim Award, but he sent an enraged telegram to Harry F. Guggenheim himself, refusing the prize and wanting "public confirmation not to have participated in [this] ridiculous game

What is late modernism?

Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
