Situating the Danish artist Asger Jorn’s work in an international, post-World War II context, Karen Kurczynski offers an account of the essential phases of this prolific artist’s career, and addresses his works in various media alongside his extensive writings and collaborations. The study reframes our understanding of the 1950s, and foregrounds the idea that the sensory address of art and its complex relationship to popular media can have a direct social and political impact.
