Lucebert (Lubertus Jacobus Swaanswijk) (1924 Amsterdam - 1994 Alkmaar) "The Guardian". Original title Expressive, colorful composition that depicts figures in an abstract manner characteristic of Lucebert.

At the same time, he participated - mainly as a poet - in the internationally renowned "CoBrA" group. In addition to several solo exhibitions, he showed his work at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and at documenta II and III in Kassel, among others.
