Pierre Alechinsky    Born Bruxells 1927.
'Tortillon' from 1984


'I am the Benjamin of Cobra' has this Belgian painter said in an interview.
He was only 23 when he was invited to participate in 'Spiralen' in 1949 by Jorn and Dotremont.
He was a close friend to Jorn, and his pictures may sometimes look something like those of Jorn, but also may, as he has his own way of painting, I often se his pictures as a window with a wide frame, and the the actual painting in the window.
