{"product_id":"vliegend-fantasiewezen-lucebert","title":"Vliegend fantasiewezen - Lucebert","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking ink and wash drawing by Dutch artist Lucebert, featuring a whimsical, abstract creature rendered with spontaneous, expressive lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucebert, the pseudonym of Lubertus Jacobus Swaanswijk, remains a central figure in post-war Dutch art. As a poet and painter, his visual work often mirrors the raw, unrefined energy of his literary output. This piece, titled Vliegend fantasiewezen, dates from 1970 and displays the characteristic spontaneity associated with his later career. The work features a central, hybrid figure that defies anatomical logic, rendered with bold, sweeping ink lines that suggest movement and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on a stark contrast between the dark, fluid ink washes and the negative space of the paper. Lucebert employs a calligraphic approach, where the weight of the line varies to define the creature's form, while the wash provides depth and atmospheric shadow. The figure appears to hover, framed by amorphous shapes that evoke clouds or ethereal voids. This approach aligns with the principles of the CoBrA movement, which prioritised intuitive expression and the rejection of formal academic constraints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucebert's work from this period often explores themes of the grotesque and the mythical. By stripping away representational detail, he invites the viewer to engage with the image as a psychological projection rather than a literal depiction. The figure's head, marked by simple geometric indicators, contrasts with the chaotic, hatched textures of its body, creating a tension between order and disorder. This print captures the artist's ability to balance humour with a sense of unease, a hallmark of his creative output. It is a direct, unmediated expression of the artist's internal world, presented with the immediacy of a sketch. The work is signed and dated by the artist in the lower left corner, providing a clear link to his practice during this productive decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/dream-landscape-with-a-group-of-trees-albert-trachsel\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDream Landscape with a Group of Trees - Albert Trachsel — Albert Trachsel\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/crucifixion-from-der-bildermann-oskar-kokoschka\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCrucifixion, from Der Bildermann - Oskar Kokoschka — Oskar Kokoschka\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lucebert","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58474092495183,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58474269409615,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58474269442383,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58474269475151,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58474269507919,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58474269540687,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58474269573455,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58474269606223,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58474269638991,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58474269671759,"sku":null,"price":570.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58474269704527,"sku":null,"price":570.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Vliegend-fantasiewezen_Poster_CompositorV1_1786324844268.jpg?v=1786691633","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/vliegend-fantasiewezen-lucebert","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
