Lubertus Jacobus Swaanswijk (Amsterdam, 15 September 1924 – Alkmaar, 10 May 1994) was a Dutch poet and painter. As a poet he was seen as the leader of the movement of the Vijftigers, a progressive group of poets who began experimenting with form and content after the Second World War. As a painter he was closely involved with the Amsterdam branch of the experimental Cobra group. A biography by Wim Hazeu was published in 2018.[5][6] In his younger years he obeyed the call to report for the German Arbeitseinsatz. He subsequently worked as a forced laborer in the German arms industry.
