AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In Corneille's work, birds often appear as powerful symbols of freedom, movement, and imagination. A crow plays a special role: with its dark color and clean, streamlined form it often stands for mystery, power, or the unknown. Corneille combines the crow with his characteristic bright colors and simplified shapes, making the animal seem at once menacing and poetic. This fits with his CoBrA background, in which spontaneous expression and intuitive visual language are central.
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 artwork with frame: 82 x 82 cm
Dimensions of the work without a frame: 65 x 66 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.
