Another has only recently come to light and has been loaned especially for this show. One such experimental mask originates from the Cobra Museum's own collection. It will feature Cobra artworks, primarily works dating from 1935 to the end of the 1950s, and will including paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and- very uniquely– two of Eugène Brands' experimental masks from the late 1940's. With its combination of the works on view, fun children's activities and the exhibition's format, 'Maskerade' will be a very varied summer exhibition. ![]() This exhibition contains approximately 80 works, many of which are on loan from Danish and Dutch collectors. Special ethnographic items will also be exhibited: African masks from the Royal Danish Collection, from two authoritative museum collections and from the private collections of Brands, Corneille, Jan Nieuwenhuijs, Ouborg en Rooskens. The exhibition will show works from Cobra alongside tribal masks and will include art by Ejler Bile, Eugène Brands, Corneille, Sonja Ferlov, Egill Jacobsen, Robert Jacobsen, Asger Jorn, Carl-Henning Pedersen, Anton Rooskens, Theo Wolvecamp, as well as work by the Cobra-associated artist Piet Ouborg. A fun and challenging children's programme, 'The Cobra Expedition', has been developed to accompany the exhibition. It promises to be an inspiring and multi-faceted summer exhibit about the relationship between Cobra and the mask: the mask as symbol for unrestrained and spontaneous art. ![]() ![]() From June 12th to October 10th, 2010 the Cobra Museum presents 'Maskerade: Cobra's Game with the Mask'.
