Overview and quickfacts
COBRA is a European avant-garde movement of the 1950s and 1960s that was started by a group of artists who had left the Surrealist movement. The name COBRA comes from the first letters of the cities where the artists were based: Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam. The COBRA artists were united by their rejection of Surrealism’s emphasis on the unconscious mind, and instead wanted to create art that was based on their own experiences and emotions. They believed that art should be accessible to everyone, and that it should be expressive and joyful. The COBRA artists were known for their use of bright colors and bold patterns, and their paintings often depict scenes of everyday life.
The art style is also known as: snake, reptile, viper, adder, boa

Detailed Description
Cobra was a European avant-garde movement active from 1948 to 1951. It was started by a group of artists in Paris who were dissatisfied with the current art scene. They believed that art should be expressive and accessible to everyone, not just the elite. The name Cobra comes from the initials of the cities where the founding members were from: Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam. The Cobra artists were known for their bold use of color and their experimental techniques. They were also interested in primitive art and folk art, and many of their paintings incorporate elements from these traditions. Some of the most famous Cobra paintings are “The Snail” by Pierre Alechinsky, “The Red Cow” by Karel Appel, and “The Bird” by Constant Nieuwenhuys. Despite their short-lived existence, the Cobra movement had a significant impact on the development of postwar art. The artists associated with Cobra were instrumental in introducing new ideas about art to the mainstream.
