Description from the seller
“L’oiseau multicolore” is a characteristic work by the Dutch Cobra artist Corneille (Guillaume Corneille Beverloo, 1922–2010). The title means The Multicolored Bird, a motif that recurs frequently in his oeuvre.
In this work a vividly colored, stylized bird is central. Corneille uses strong 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 symbolises freedom, imagination and a connection with nature in Corneille’s work. With L’oiseau multicolore he shows that color and imagination are more important 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 fine example of his later style.
Dimensions of the work without frame: 52 x 73 cm
Viewing is possible. We have our own custom framing workshop (85th anniversary) and work with recognized restorers (Restauratoren Nederland). Please feel free to contact us via our website.
