Constant Nieuwenhuys | 1920 - 2005

In 1946 Constant met the Danish painter / poet Asger Jorn. Short after agressive and daunting figures appeared in his paintings. In the same period he also got interested by childrens drawings. A year after Amsterdam organized his first solo exhibition. In his further life he kept interested in primitive and naïve art.

In Cobra Café you can see a drawing in black and white hanging on the art-wall.
