Asger Jorn
Asger Jorn () was a Danish painter, sculptor, ceramicist, writer, and founder of COBRA, the avant-garde art movement. He was also an integral member of Situationist International, a global resistance organization. After graduating college in , Jorn went on to study under Kandinsky in Paris, eventually joining Fernand Leger's Academie Contemporaine, which precipitated his shift from figurative to abstract compositions. From to , Jorn studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, where he honed his signature, eccentric hand. His paintings typified the existential angst of postwar Europe, and often toyed with pre-conceived notions of taste and quality in the Western canon. A life-long anti-capitalist, he famously railed against institutions he deemed corrupt, going so far as to reject the prestigious Guggenheim Prize in by informing Harry Guggenheim to "Go to hell" via telegram. A prolific writer, activist, and print-maker, Jorn's multivalent approach to artistic production is palpable in his paintings.

FAMILY AND TEACHER
Asger Oluf Jørgensen was born on 3 March in Vejrum in the western part of Jutland. Both parents were teachers and, following the early death of his father, his mother Maren Jørgensen moved to Silkeborg with her six children.

Summary of Asger Jorn
Asger Jorn was one of the most talented painters of the s, and one of the most talented abstract artists of any era. Training under such luminaries as Wassily Kandinsky and Fernand Léger, he went on to fundamentally influence the development of Abstraction in the post-war period as a fellow traveler of European movements such as Art Informel. He was also a cofounder of both the CoBrA and Situationist International groups, both of which were central to the emergence of a new, politically radical artistic credo during the s. As such, Jorn's work represents a vital bridge between the advances of the early twentieth century and the re-emergence of avant-garde sensibilities in the later decades of the twentieth century.
Accomplishments
- Jorn's work is central to the emergence of a kind of Neo-Romantic, non-figurative Expressionism across a range of dispersed art movements during the post years. Somewhat like the Art Informel artists in France and the Abstract Expressionists in North America, Jorn placed enormous value on spontaneity, instinctive creation, and a kind of pantheistic attachment to a wider-than-human life-force. For Jorn, however, these impulse
