Klee & Cobra

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek

Fascination with children's ability to express themselves in pictures is a recurrent theme in the work of the Swiss artist Paul Klee (1879-1940), one of the great classic figures of 20th-century art. Several decades later, this same ability to dip into the pictorial world of children - with a new historical background - became a source of new artistic and political directions for the artists' group Cobra (1948-51). In the exhibition the works of Paul Klee and the Cobra artists are confronted with one another in thematic chapters that bring the man and the movement together in surprising, fruitful and interesting ways that open the door to Klee's oeuvre with around 120 works, and teach us to see Cobra - Corneille, Karel Appel, Asger Jorn and others - in a new light with around 100 works by these artists.
