{"product_id":"alfabetische-tartaar-lucebert","title":"Alfabetische tartaar - Lucebert","description":"\u003cp\u003eA raw, expressive ink drawing by Dutch artist Lucebert, featuring a mask-like figure and abstract symbols created in 1960.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucebert, the pseudonym of Lubertus Jacobus Swaanswijk, was a central figure in the Dutch post-war avant-garde. Known as the 'Emperor of the Five-Day Painters', he moved fluidly between poetry and visual art. This work, dated 5 January 1960, displays the raw, spontaneous energy characteristic of his output. The composition features a central, mask-like figure rendered in fluid, gestural ink lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucebert often employed a lexicon of distorted forms and semi-legible symbols. In this piece, the figure is constructed through a combination of loose, sweeping strokes and dense, hatched areas. The inclusion of blocky, letter-like shapes suggests a preoccupation with language, a common theme in his work where the boundaries between text and image blur. The ink application varies from thin, precise outlines to heavy, saturated pools of black, creating a sense of urgency and directness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a member of the CoBrA movement, Lucebert rejected traditional aesthetic constraints in favour of a more primal, childlike mode of expression. This approach sought to bypass intellectual filters, allowing for a more immediate communication of the human condition. The figure here appears both playful and unsettling, a duality that defines much of his oeuvre. The stark contrast between the black ink and the off-white paper surface emphasises the graphic quality of the drawing. It is a clear example of his ability to synthesise complex emotional states into a seemingly simple, yet highly charged, visual language. The work remains an authentic representation of his mid-career style, where his dual identity as a poet and painter converged into a singular, expressive force.\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=\"\/products\/the-prophet-zao-wou-ki\" 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;\"\u003eThe Prophet - Zao Wou-Ki — Zao Wou-Ki\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-fire-painting-f-102-yves-klein\" 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;\"\u003eUntitled Fire Painting (F 102) - Yves Klein — Yves Klein\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lucebert","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58473161359695,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58473168634191,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58473168666959,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58473168699727,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58473168732495,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58473168765263,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58473168798031,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58473168830799,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58473168863567,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58473168896335,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58473168929103,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58473168961871,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Alfabetische-tartaar_Poster_CompositorV1_1786302274766.jpg?v=1786680119","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/alfabetische-tartaar-lucebert","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
