He gained recognition as a co-founder of the CoBrA movement (1948 1951), characterized by spontaneous, expressive, and abstract forms. After his CoBrA period, he focused on his visionary architectural project New Babylon , which envisioned a utopian society centered on creativity and freedom. His work, deeply rooted in social and philosophical concepts, continues to inspire contemporary artists. *** Museums and Collections *** Constant s work is included in major international collections, such as: # Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam # Centre Pompidou, Paris # Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York # Guggenheim Museum, New York # Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam *** Description of the Artwork *** This ink drawing is characterized by fluid and expressive lines, depicting a human figure in an almost abstract form. The spontaneous line work and abstraction reflect Constant s experimental and expressive style, where emotion and movement take center stage. The contrast between light and dark accents enhances the composition s dynamism. *** The CoBrA movement (1948 1951) was a highly influential post-war European avant-garde movement known for its spontaneous, expressive, and experimental approach to art. Formed in Paris by artists from Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam (CoBrA), the group rejected academic traditions in favor of raw, instinctive creativity, often drawing inspiration from folk art, children's drawings, and primitive art. * CoBrA artists embraced bold colors, dynamic brushstrokes, and abstract figures, prioritizing emotion and freedom over formal precision. Their approach reflected an anti-establishment stance, countering the structured movements of the time such as Surrealism and Geometric Abstraction. * Prominent members included Asger Jorn (Denmark), Karel Appel (Netherlands), Constant Nieuwenhuys (Netherlands), Pierre Alechinsky (Belgium), Corneille (Netherlands), and Christian Dotremont (Belgium). Other notable contributors were Carl-Henning Pedersen (Denmark), Anton Rooskens (Netherlands), Reinhoud D'Haese (Belgium), Lucebert (Netherlands), and Eugène Brands (Netherlands). *** Worldwide delivery is offered, providing a seamless acquisition process for international buyers ***.
