CoBrA

What is the CoBrA movement?

CoBrA stands for Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam; the group was formed with a desire to break away from the existing art movements of the time. Their critique of Western society led them to experiment and evolve into a significant international movement. CoBrA was founded on November 8, 1948, at the Notre Dame Café in Paris, where its manifesto was signed by Karel Appel, Joseph Noiret, Corneille, Christian Dotremont, Constant, and Asger Jorn. The group was united by a shared commitment to freedom in both form and color, and their work emphasized experimentation and spontaneity.

Dau Al Set

Dau Al Set

(19 works, 18 for sale)

Dau Al Set was an artistic movement that sought to express both the conscious and unconscious mind through art. Initially an offshoot of Surrealism, it evolved into a distinct movement over time. Founded in Catalonia post-World War II, Dau Al Set was the first artistic movement in the region after the war. The name Dau Al Set translates to the seventh face of the dice in Catalan, symbolizing the movement's unique and unconventional character.

Ephemeral Art

Ephemeral Art

(15 works, 11 for sale)

Ephemeral art is a type of art that occurs only once and typically lasts for a very short period. It cannot be displayed as a traditional work of art in a gallery or museum. Examples of ephemeral art include performances, happenings, sound sculptures, flyers, and mass-produced items. This art form emphasizes the transient nature of the experience, existing only in the moment and often leaving no lasting physical trace.

New Figuration

(508 works, 464 for sale)

Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
