The child as a source of inspiration for CoBrA and contemporary art 鈥淎n Unstoppable Force鈥� is a big art exhibition in which the Cobra Museum explores the creativity, spontaneity and purity of children, and asks critical questions about the surrounding myths. This playful exhibition will be staged in such a way that visitors will have to build, crawl and climb their way through it, so children will feel right at home in the museum, while adults can rediscover their inner child. Works by well-known CoBrA artists are presented shoulder to shoulder with those of contemporary artists. Although the way we think about children has changed considerably since the 1950s, the artists in the exhibition have one thing in common: they are all dead serious about children. Together, the artworks offer a varied and sometimes critical view of the creative expression of the child. The playing child With their attitude to life and playfulness, children were a powerful source of inspiration for the CoBrA movement (1948-1951) in their desire to build a new society and to create new art. According to the artists, the open-minded and spontaneous attitude of a child showed how you could do things your own way by not caring about what is 鈥榞ood鈥� or 鈥榬ight鈥� in the eyes of others. This greatly appealed to them, as they believed that a world in which the Second World War could have happened had to be completely transformed. As artists, they therefore wanted to make art that would make people rethink their existing ideas, thus starting a revolution.
