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: through its dark color and clean 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 at once intimidating and poetic. This fits with his CoBrA background, in which spontaneous expression and intuitive visual language are central.
Corneille (1922–2010) was 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.
Viewing possible. We have our own framers (85th anniversary) and work with recognized restorers (Restauratoren Nederland). Feel free to contact us via our website.
