Beschreibung
A 1959 etching by Danish artist Asger Jorn, featuring dense, gestural lines and earthy tones that evoke a sense of raw, spontaneous energy.
This etching by Asger Jorn, dated 1959, captures the raw, gestural energy characteristic of his work during the post-war period. Jorn was a founding member of the CoBrA movement, an international group of artists who prioritised spontaneity, folk art influences, and a rejection of rigid formalist structures. In this piece, the artist employs a dense web of etched lines to suggest a figure, though the form remains intentionally ambiguous and fluid. The composition relies on the tension between the dark, aggressive marks and the softer, tonal washes of the aquatint background.
The print demonstrates Jorn's interest in the physical act of creation. The lines appear scratched into the plate with urgency, creating a sense of motion that defies static representation. By layering these marks, Jorn builds a visual field where the subject emerges from and recedes into the surrounding texture. The palette is restrained, focusing on earthy browns and deep blacks, which allows the focus to remain on the interplay of line and shadow.
Jorn's approach to printmaking often mirrored his painting practice, where he sought to bypass conscious control in favour of a more primal, intuitive expression. This work reflects his ongoing investigation into the human condition through abstraction, avoiding clear narratives in favour of emotional resonance. The print is signed and dated in the lower margin, consistent with his output from the late 1950s. It provides a clear example of his graphic style, where the medium of etching is pushed to accommodate a free, almost chaotic application of mark-making. The result is a work that feels immediate and unrefined, maintaining the vitality of the original copper plate process.

Artist Biography
Asger Jorn
When the Guggenheim International Award Committee informed Asger Jorn in 1964 that he had won their prize, his reply arrived by telegram: "GO TO HELL WITH YOUR MONEY BASTARD, STOP, REFUSE PRICE, STOP, NEVER ASKED FOR IT, STOP." The gesture was characteristic of an artist who spent much of his life in open conflict with institutional authority and commercial culture.
Born in Vejrum, Jutland in 1914, Jorn studied briefly in Paris in the late 1930s, where he attended Léger's atelier and worked with Le Corbusier on a pavilion project. During the Nazi occupation of Denmark he co-founded Helhesten, an underground cultural journal that kept experimental art alive through the war years. In 1948 he was a founding member of CoBrA, the international group that brought together artists from Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam in a loose avant-garde coalition emphasising raw expressiveness and collective mythology.
After CoBrA dissolved in 1951 he aligned briefly with the Situationist International, contributing theoretical writing alongside Guy Debord before a clean break in 1961. Over his lifetime he produced more than 2,500 works in paint, print, ceramics, and collage, and wrote over twenty books on aesthetics and political theory. He was also, incidentally, the first person to translate Franz Kafka into Danish. The major collection of his work is held at Museum Jorn in Silkeborg, which he helped establish. He died in Aarhus in May 1973.
