Description from the seller
In Corneille's work birds often appear as powerful symbols of freedom, movement and imagination. A crow has a special role: due to its dark color and sleek form it often stands for mystery, power or the unknown. Corneille combines the crow with his characteristic bright colours and simplified shapes, making the animal at once threatening and poetic. This fits with his CoBrA background, where spontaneous expression and intuitive visual language are central.
Corneille (1922–2010) was co-founder of the CoBrA movement and an important innovator within postwar art. His work evolved from abstract to figurative, with recurring themes such as birds, women and flowers. This colourful silkscreen is a fine example of his later style.
