THE META-REALISTS

But it was only in the 1970’s that Johfra would

begin to experience some success. During this time,
he exhibited his works as part of a group of seven
painters called the Meta-Realists, including Diana
Vandenberg and Ellen Lórien. This exhibition
toured through the Netherlands and Belgium, and
attracted much attention.
A book by Hein Steehouwer called De Zeven
Metarealisten gave the group further recognition,
while another book by Pierre Borgue (Johfra, op JOHFRA: SELF-PORTRAIT AT THE AGE OF 46
de grenzen van het avontuur) concentrated on
Johfra’s works exclusively.
In 1973, Johfra also completed his masterwork,
the triptych Unio Mystica (below - click for detail). The Hermetic canvases which
Johfra produced in this period are
UNIO MYSTICA (1973) among his best-known works. The
artist later wrote a book called
Astrology: Signs of the Zodiac
Then came the (1981) which offered his own

series of posters for

Reproductions. The
international
publication and
distribution of his
work brought him
