Lucebert

Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Lucebert is a renowned Dutch poet-painter, often cited as one of the biggest inspirations for a lot of the Dutch poetry that has followed his own. Lucebert found his initial success as a member of the Experimentele Groep Holland, which later went on to merge with the much bigger force of CoBrA.

The oft-quoted line of poetry ‘Alles van waarde is weerloos (everything of value is defenceless) is shared through a variety of different mediums, most notably as a neon sign atop a building in Rotterdam. Lucebert’s poetry was free expression of his own personality and views on life, and was often a blistering attack on the hypocrisy and pitfalls of societal respectability at the time – his first public appearance as a poet in Amsterdam was executed with the reading of a poem ‘Love-letter to our tortured bride, Indonesia’ - a direct and disparaging response to the Dutch military aggression towards Indonesia in 1948.

What is avant-garde?

Avant-garde refers to innovative and experimental ideas in the arts that challenge established norms and conventions. Originating from the French term for advance guard, it describes both the movement and the artists who push the boundaries of creativity, often exploring new techniques, forms, and concepts. The avant-garde has been a driving force in various art movements throughout history, such as Dadaism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, continually reshaping the landscape of art and culture.
