Description from the seller

In Corneille's work, birds frequently 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, strength, or the unknown. Corneille combines the crow with his distinctive bright colors and simplified shapes, making the animal appear both menacing and poetic. This fits with his CoBrA background, in which spontaneous expression and intuitive pictorial 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.
