Description

The Belgian painter Jan Cox (1919-1980) played an important role in the postwar history of art. He was one of teh founders of the group of artists called La Jeune Peinture Belge and he was also closely related to the Cobra movement. In 1956, Cox moved to Boston (USA) where he lived and worked until 1974. Back in Belgium, he was introduced into the art society of 'The Black Panther' Gallery in Antwerp.Jan Cox's first works are mainly abstract, but gradually they got a magical and surrealistic character. The most distinguishing feature however is his choice of mytological and religious themes in combination with the problem of existentialism.
