About this book

In 1944, Asger Jorn painted together with i.a. artist colleagues Ejler Bille, Erik Thommesen, Henry Heerup, Else Alfelt, Carl-Henning Pedersen and Corneille a 75 meter long frieze in a small kindergarten on Østerbro in Copenhagen. The group later became known as the Cobra Group. A cultural treasure was created. The paintings are world art. Worn by the ravages of time and the daily life of the kindergarten, they have lived an anonymous life until now. But then Jorn's son, Troels Jorn, took the initiative to have the paintings restored, and in the spring of 2018, the children moved into the newly restored, sparkling living rooms. The book here tells the story of the Frisians' creation and puts them into a larger art and cultural historical context while the book describes the completely unique situation that the children in Hjortøgade play every day in the light of the play of colors from world art on the kindergarten walls. Richly illustrated with photographs by Roberto Fortuna. I 1944 malede Asger Jorn sammen med bl.a. kunstnerkollegerne Ejler Bille, Erik Thommesen, Henry Heerup, Else Alfelt, Carl-Henning Pedersen og Corneille en 75 meter lang frise i en lille børnehave på Østerbro i København. Gruppen blev senere kendt som Cobra-gruppen. En kulturskat blev til. Malerierne er verdenskunst. Slidt af tidens tand og børnehavens daglige liv har de levet en anonym tilværelse indtil nu. Men så tog Jorns søn, Troels Jorn, initiativ til at få malerierne restaureret, og i foråret 2018 rykkede børnene ind i de nyrestaurerede, funklende stuer. Bogen her fortæller historien om frisernes tilblivelse og sætter dem ind i en større kunst- og kulturhistorisk kontekst samtidig med, at bogen beskriver den helt unikke situation, at børnene i Hjortøgade hver dag leger i lyset af farvespillet fra verdenskunsten på børnehavens vægge. Rigt illustreret med fotografier af Roberto Fortuna.
