This art wasn't partisan, it was a grim observation of man's potential inhumanity to man; of the true barbarities of war." (Phaidon.com).

The Cobra artists shared a doctrine of complete freedom of color and form and an interest in Marxism, Modernism and Surrealism. They were more interested in the processes of art than in the final product. The group officially disbanded in 1951, but many of the members remained close friends and continued to collaborate with one another.<p>Rare. Very good .
