The CoBrA artists were mainly inspired by the creativity of children
CoBrA fits in well with primary education because the CoBrA artists were mainly inspired by the creativity they saw in children, by folk art and by non-western art. They created their art in an experimental, highly imaginative and spontaneous way. That’s why children feel right at home in the Cobra Museum. There is no fear here of ‘not being able to draw’. At the Cobra Museum, we know that everyone can draw and we encourage colouring outside the lines.
The CoBrA artists were inspired by their predecessors, the great masters of modern art: Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and Paul Klee. Now let children become inspired by CoBrA’s Karel Appel, Heerup, Alechinsky, etc.
