		The Danish artist Asger Jorn (1914-1973), who T.J. Clark called "the greatest painter of the 1950s", is probably best known for his involvement in the quintessential avant-garde grouping the Situationist International (of which he was a member from inception in 1957 to 1961, although he continued to help and fund after this date).

	Michele Bernstein on Asger Jorn
		In fact it was in 1938, in the course of a trip through the Scandinavian countries he made with Jorn, that Wemaere glimpsed the possibilities of renewal contained in the ancient tapestries of Northern Europe.
		Jorn has insisted that the tapestry remains covered until then, so that it bursts into sight with the traditional presentation of the plastic arts that, in the West, is now always permanent.
		It is the flight of nebulae, in every direction of an expanding tapestry, as in the design that Jorn and Wemaere had seen in Bornholm during the course of their trip: there is no orientation, no compass; it can be read in either direction, starting from a center that is not otherwise defined.

		In retrospect his timing could not have been worse, arriving as he did precisely at the moment when the dramatic brush gesture of Action painting was giving way to an extreme simplification of the canvas, a rejection of fantasy and a focus on the analytic deconstruction of painterly technique itself.
		For here Jorn's signature brush gesture, his brilliant color (undiluted primaries, with fls, whites and greens) and his heavy impasto were all on display, set forth as evidence of the artist's creative frenzy.
		On the one hand, born in 1914, he was a painter who had absorbed deeply the lessons of the first generation of 20th-century modernist artists; he accepted their premises as the only valid path toward free creation.
