Corneille’s Premier Soleil, a hand-signed screen print in a limited edition from 1997, Cobra style, 48 × 55 cm framed, produced in the Netherlands and sold by Galerie.
Description from the seller
In Premier soleil, Corneille displays his distinctive imagery of bold colors and simplified forms. The motif of the sun, a recurring element in his oeuvre, refers to warmth, nature, and life energy. The work aligns with his graphic and painting practice, in which spontaneity and color perception are central, influenced by his CoBrA background.
Corneille (1922–2010) was a co-founder of the CoBrA movement and an important innovator in post-war art. His work evolved from abstract to figurative, with recurring themes such as birds, women, and flowers. This colorful silkscreen print is a fine example of his later style.
Dimensions of the work with frame: 48 x 55 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 45 x 52 cm
Framed artwork.
Appointments for viewing are available. We have our own framing workshop (celebrating 85 years) and work with recognized restorers (Restauratoren Nederland). Please feel free to contact us via our website.
