Post-war art on exhibit in Brussels

People with an interest in the evolution of art following the Second World War may be tempted to take a ferry trip to Brussels over the coming months for a special exhibition.

A showcase of work by the Cobra art movement will be open at the city's Bozar Centre for Fine Arts until January 4th next year.

Cobra was an avant-garde movement whose name was coined in 1948 by the Belgian painter Christian Dotremont from the initials of its members' home cities – Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam.

It was active for a short time from 1948 to 1951 and led to the creation of a number of prints, engravings and other creations that are on show at the Bozar centre in Brussels.

The exhibition is being held in parallel with a major Cobra retrospective at the Royal Fine Arts Museum in Brussels, which is one of Belgium's most famous museums.

People interested in visiting one of these exhibitions can catch ferries to Belgium with P&O Ferries or TransEuropa Ferries, which sail from Hull and Ramsgate respectively.
