Biography
Pierre Alechinsky is a Belgian artist born in Brussels in 1927. He studied at the École nationale supérieure d'Architecture et des Arts décoratifs in Brussels and later at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Alechinsky is known for his unique style of calligraphic painting, which combines elements of Eastern and Western art. He was a member of the CoBrA group, a collective of artists who sought to break away from traditional art forms and explore new ways of expression. Alechinsky's work often features abstract forms and bold colors, and he has been influenced by the work of artists such as Paul Klee and Joan Miró. He has exhibited his work in galleries and museums around the world, and his pieces can be found in the collections of major institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Alechinsky continues to create art today and is considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century.
