Ernst Kolb
Collection de l'Art Brut

09/02/2018 - 17/06/2018

Before he was known for his artworks, Ernst Kolb (1927-1993) made a name for himself in Mannheim, Germany, through his presence at all kinds of public events. Nicknamed “ citizen Kolb ”, he attended not only private viewings and conferences, but also sessions of the local council. The ballpoint pen drawings by this former baker represent characters and scenes from everyday life.
