Corneille (Guillaume Corneille Beverloo), L'oiseau multicolore, hand-signed, 2003, lithograph, limited edition 17/30, 52 x 73 cm, Netherlands origin, sold by Galerie, Cobra period style, in good condition.
Description from the seller
“Colorful Bird” is a characteristic work by the Dutch Cobra artist Corneille (Guillaume Corneille Beverloo, 1922–2010). The title means The Multicolored Bird, a motif that often recurs in his oeuvre.
In this work a brightly colored, stylized bird is central. Corneille uses bold contour lines and bright hues such as red, yellow, blue and green. The shapes are simple and almost childlike, which aligns with the free and spontaneous style of the CoBrA movement, of which he was a co-founder.
The bird often symbolizes freedom, imagination and a connection with nature in Corneille’s work. With L’oiseau multicolore he shows that color and fantasy matter more than realistic representation: it is about expression, emotion and playfulness.
Corneille (1922–2010) was a co-founder of the CoBrA movement and an important innovator in postwar art. His work evolved from abstract to figurative, with recurring themes such as birds, women and flowers. This colorful silkscreen is a nice example of his later style.
Dimensions of the work without a frame: 52 x 73 cm
Viewing possible. We have our own framing workshop (85th anniversary) and work with recognized restorers (Restauratoren Nederland). Please feel free to contact us via our website.
