Lucebert very early became aware that he wanted to be an artist. 14 years
old he started at the School of Art and Industry in Amsterdam. He tried
to find his niche, but did not find it in painting. After a very short
period at the School of Art and Industry he jumped out, and started writing
poems. As a very productive writer he joined the Nederlandse Experimentele
Group in 1948, and later that year he joined Cobra as Nederlandse Experimentele
Group became the dutch part of the international movement.
In Cobra he experienced the fusion of different artistic expressions (painters
wrote and writers painted) that was one of the experiments of Cobra. During
Cobra time Lucebert contributed with many dessin-mots (word paintings)
and ink drawings. After Cobra Lucebert continued to write, and besides
he started painting again in the end of the fifthies in a Cobra style
probably inspired by Pierre Alechinsky.
