Ernst Vijlbrief belonged to the avant-garde painters of the sixties. His gouaches consisted of spontaneously 'written' sweeps, lines, circles, splashes and spots in a thick paint mass with turbulent brushed color areas. The power and vitality of the work is comparable to that of the Cobra painters, with whom he exhibited every now and then in the 1950s. Vijlbrief was active as chairman of the BBK Foundation and initiator of various artistic 'Happenings' in Amsterdam. You are welcome to visit the work in our gallery.
