• The declared aim of the artist group “CoBrA”, which Jorn co-founded in 1948, was to increase spontaneity and expressivity in art and to challenge the artistic supremacy of Paris.
• The wild, spontaneous technique integrates the process of creation and the material into the composition.
• In his early works, Asger Jorn found inspiration in the ornamental forms of Viking art, in medieval Danish frescoes and Scandinavian folk art
.
"Fairy tales and myths have monsters, fantastic beings and symbols that people have crafted from real phenomena. [..] We should not give descriptions of men as animals. But we should describe ourselves as animals. That is our way."
Asger Jorn in a letter to Constant, 1950 (quoted from: Uwe M. Schneede, Cobra 1948-51, ex. cat. Kunstverein Hamburg, Hamburg 1982, p. 138).
