We are happy to present a metal sculpture by Jan Cobbaert (1905-1995)

During the 1950s Cobbaert knows an international breakthrough. He rides the wave of success that he created and was often linked to the COBRA movement. Although he never actively joins the COBRA movement, he obviously saw that his expressive lines and methods were close to their style. Already in 1942 and earlier Jan Cobbaert was working like this, making him quite a pioneer.

This sculpture shows a completely abstract composition from one side and from the other angles it shows a figure shielding it’s self, playing, and running. But also extreme pain and heartbreak. This is due to the terrible personal losses Jan Cobbaert experienced during the fifties.

The sculpture is hand-signed by the artist.
