Paul Klee and Cobra in international exhibition at the Cobra Museum in Amstelveen

AMSTELVEEN.- From 28 January through 22 April 2012, the Cobra Museum will present Klee and Cobra: A Child’s Play. The exhibition reveals the influence that Paul Klee (1879-1940) had on the Cobra movement (1948-1951), seen from the perspective of their shared fascination for the wondrous world of children’s imagination. This theme has never before been so thoroughly investigated in an exhibition. In all, 120 masterpieces by Paul Klee (oil paintings, works on paper, mixed media works and sculptures) and about 100 highlights by the Cobra artists (Karel Appel, Constant, Corneille, Eugène Brands, Asger Jorn, Pierre Alechinsky and others) are being brought together from international collections. This offers visitors a unique opportunity to view the similarities and the differences between Klee and Cobra. This exhibition has been made possible with the support of the Turing Foundation, the Mondriaan
