Eugenius Antonius Maria (Eugène) Brands (Amsterdam, January 15, 1913 – ibid., January 15, 2002) was a Dutch painter. He was briefly a member of the artist group Cobra.
Life and work
In 1946, Eugène Brands took part in the group exhibition Young Painters at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam,[1] where an entire room was filled with his work. There he established good contacts with director Sandberg, who had promised him a (solo) exhibition.
After joining the Experimental Group in Holland in 1948, he took on the task of managing contacts with the Stedelijk Museum. This led to the International Exhibition of Experimental Art in November 1949. Meanwhile, the Cobra movement had also been founded by Constant Nieuwenhuijs, Corneille, Karel Appel, Christian Dotremont, and Asger Jorn. This major group exhibition was therefore the first public manifestation of Cobra. Several large works by Eugène Brands, created especially for the exhibition, were on display.
Due to differences of opinion and internal quarrels following this exhibition, he left the Cobra movement and distanced himself from it. He also went his own way artistically.[2] In the 1950s he produced work inspired by children's drawings, including those of his daughter Eugénie.[3] It was not until the 1960s that he returned to the Cobra colour palette.
