De Vijftigers ("Those of the fifties") were a loosely connected group of experimental Dutch and Belgian writers, which was started in the late 1940s and were also connected to the Cobra movement.[1] The group included Hans Andreus, Lucebert, Simon Vinkenoog, Armando, Hugo Claus, and Jan Hanlo, among others.[2][3]

Background

De Vijftigers opposed the art views of their predecessors. There is a lyric that we abolish, as they put it.These are the poets Lucebert, Hugo Claus and Gerrit Kouwenaar, Remco Campert and Jan Elburg. They had previously become involved with a group of young Danish, Belgian and Dutch artists, who called themselves Cobra, Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam. According to these Cobra artists-among them Karel Appel, Corneille and Constant – real vital art could only be made by truly free people.
