About the artist: Pierre Alechinsky (born 1927) is a prominent Belgian painter and graphic artist and is among the most important representatives of the CoBrA group. His unmistakable visual language combines gestural abstraction with influences from East Asian calligraphy and a spontaneous, free line work. His works are housed in major international museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. With his extensive oeuvre in painting, drawing, printmaking, and literature, Alechinsky is among the influential European artists of postwar art.
