Lucebert (pseudonym of Lubertus Jacobus Swaanswijk, 1924–1994) lived in Amsterdam and later in Bergen, a coastal town in the Netherlands then popular with artists.

The experimental and enigmatic quality of his verse made him a sensation in the early 1950s. He was instantly embraced by the avant-garde movements CoBrA and The Fiftiers, but eyed with suspicion by the Dutch establishment. Today, he is acknowledged as an important voice within the literary canon, and his prolific legacy extends to thousands of paintings and drawings.
