Description from the seller
In much of Corneille's work, exotic landscapes, tropical themes, and birds play a major role. He combines these subjects with a clear, childlike style and a strong sense of color. Especially yellow and blue recur often: yellow for sun, warmth, and vitality, blue for the sky, water, and freedom. The birds reinforce the feeling of movement, freedom, and the distant, the unknown. Through these elements, Corneille creates a world that feels both playful and dreamlike.
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: 77 x 86 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 51 x 59 cm
Framed artwork.
