Andre Goezu / Bob de Groof


Andre Goezu (1939 - 




Bob de Groof (1959 -


Immediately recognizable for his somewhat earlier
work. In fact the influence of the COBRA group absolutely
is there. A bit Finn Pedersen and Asger Jorn but not copied!


The signature which leaves no mysteries. Clear.


A kind of a surprise was the drawing in ink on the back
at the time we took this work out of its' frame. As can 
be seen this was necessary as humidity allready caused 
some mold on the paper. A new passe partout and acid 
free backing of the paper in fact is necessary. Work on 
paper.  Dimensions: 23 / 31 cm. We recently had contact 
with Mr. de Groof. It is also from his hand and bears 
the title "The Opium Smoker". Ink drawing.
