{"product_id":"figuur-tegen-zwarte-achtergrond-lucebert","title":"Figuur tegen zwarte achtergrond - Lucebert","description":"\u003cp\u003eA powerful ink drawing by Dutch artist Lucebert, featuring a gestural, expressionist figure rendered in stark black and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLucebert, the pseudonym of Lubertus Jacobus Swaanswijk, occupies a unique position in post-war European art. As a poet and painter, he was a member of the CoBrA movement, which prioritised spontaneous expression and a rejection of traditional aesthetic constraints. This work, dated 24 May 1970, demonstrates his characteristic approach to the human form. The figure is not rendered through anatomical precision, but through a series of rapid, gestural marks that suggest a psychological state rather than a physical likeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on a stark contrast between the dense, ink-washed areas and the frantic, calligraphic lines that define the central subject. The black ink bleeds into the paper, creating a sense of urgency and raw energy. Lucebert often utilised this method to explore themes of alienation and the human condition, stripping away decorative elements to focus on the immediacy of the mark-making process. The figure appears to emerge from the void, its features obscured by a web of lines that evoke a sense of internal turmoil or existential questioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this piece, the artist balances control with chaos. The lower portion of the figure contains structured, grid-like elements that contrast with the wilder, more fluid lines above. This tension is typical of his later work, where he continued to refine his visual language while maintaining the experimental spirit of his earlier CoBrA years. The work remains a direct record of the artist's hand, capturing a specific moment of creation. It invites the viewer to engage with the image on a visceral level, focusing on the rhythm of the ink and the weight of the brush strokes rather than seeking a narrative resolution.\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\/untitled-hybrid-figures-wifredo-lam\" 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 (Hybrid Figures) - Wifredo Lam — Wifredo Lam\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/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 \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58473918300495,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58473957622095,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58473957654863,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58473957687631,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58473957720399,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58473957753167,"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":58473957785935,"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":58473957818703,"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":58473957851471,"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":58473957884239,"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":58473957917007,"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":58473957949775,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Figuur-tegen-zwarte-achtergrond_Poster_CompositorV1_1786323615243.jpg?v=1786690622","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/figuur-tegen-zwarte-achtergrond-lucebert","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
