COBRA **3 DIMENSIONAAL** IN SOUTH AFRICA

COBRA (or CoBrA) was a European avant-garde movement active from 1948 to 1951. This international movement of artists who worked experimentally evolved from the criticisms of Western society and a common desire to break away from existing art movements, including "detested" naturalism and "sterile" abstraction. Their working method was based on spontaneity and experiment, and they drew their inspiration in particular from children’s drawings, from primitive art forms and from the work of Paul Klee and Joan Miró.
