To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the founding of the Accademy Gallery in Turin, founded thanks to Peter Barsi in November 1969, from November 7 to December 7 2014 there will be the exhibition Co.Br.A, curated by Luca and Francesca Barsi.
The exhibition explores the fantasy world of the artistic movement Co.Br.A.
On display 25 works of the most representative of this artistic avant-garde: Karel Appel, Asger Jorn, Pierre Alechinsky, Corneille, Lucebert, Carl-Henning Pedersen, Siegfried Reich an der Stolpe, Karl Otto Götz, Eugene Brands, Jacques Doucet, Bengt Lindström.
The Group Co.Br.A was born in November 1948 in Paris. During the International Conference of the Center for Documentation Of garde, while the speakers debated and dilungavano on abstraction and geometric Socialist Realism, a group of six delegates, bored with the banality of the debate, left the meeting and gathered in a coffee shop on the Quai St. Michel.
The young protesters signed a brief statement written by the Belgian Christian Dotremont, who later coined the name of the group, making it derive from the initials of the various components of the city: Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam. The movement, which developed in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and the countries of northern Europe into individual groups acting in semi-independence and contained, in addition to other artists, painters, reached about fifty members in three years and broke up in 1951 after 'last exposure to Liege.
The basis of the movement was the rejection of any agreement rigid in favor of an art based on freedom of creativity, emotional and intellectual. All the artists in the group, although cultural and geographic origin of different aspired to an art natural and spontaneous. The group was intended, in fact, to promote the free expression of the unconscious, using heavy strokes of violent colors to give strength and vitality to the paintings.
The artists Co.Br.A do not hide also in the works of their northern origin, keeping in theme with a very strong tradition of fables in their countries: misshapen figures, demons, elves, fairy houses isolated or animals are recurring themes in the works of these artists.
