Lucebert - Original Mixed Media Work

1986

This expressive work by Lucebert is executed in watercolor and ink on paper and depicts a dynamic, almost dancing figure in vibrant pink tones. The fluid lines and direct brushwork give the work a strong emotional intensity and spontaneity, characteristic of the artist’s late style.

Signed in black ink lower right and dated “86.X.8.” in black ink lower left.

The work reflects Lucebert’s ongoing pursuit of expression, freedom, and a direct visual language. Created in the later phase of his career, this work belongs to a mature period in which Lucebert further refined the visual language developed during the COBRA movement. The combination of energetic linework and expressive distortion of the human figure underscores his continued commitment to artistic freedom and intuitive expression. Works from this period are increasingly appreciated for their intimacy and strong connection to the core of his artistic philosophy, contributing to their growing collector’s value.

Professionally framed, in a custom-made, acid-free thick passe-partout and presented in a classic silver wooden frame.

Framed approx. 52 x 42 cm

Lucebert (1924–1994), born Lubertus Jacobus Swaanswijk, is widely regarded as one of the most important figures of postwar European art and a leading member of the COBRA movement, alongside Karel Appel and Asger Jorn. His work is characterized by expressive figuration, bold line work, and a poetic, often rebellious approach to image-making.

His works are held in major museum collections, including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, and Centre Pompidou. Today, Lucebert maintains a strong and stable position on the art market, with continued international interest from collectors of COBRA and postwar European art.
