"I am not exaggerating when I say that Alechinsky is the only painter of the group who will develop all the premises set forth by CoBrA. He has the spirit of conquest that does not become trapped by excess or inhibition, a thirst for freedom that is (not only) profound but pleasure-bent, an attitude that neither excludes fantasy nor reality. . . He is driven to create new myths to record our times, without ever beng satisfied with just taking an inventory. A body of work that overflows into many fields. There is something new in the West!"
Jacques Putman, 1967
