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 in this: with its dark color and clean, streamlined form, it often stands for mystery, strength, or the unknown. Corneille combines the crow with his distinctive bright colors and simplified shapes, making the creature at once menacing and poetic. This fits 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 postwar art. His work evolved from abstract to figurative, with recurring themes such as birds, women, and flowers. This colorful silkscreen is a fine example of his later style.
Viewings possible. We have our own framers (85th anniversary) and work with certified restorers (Restauratoren Nederland). Please feel free to contact us via our website.
