Corneille (1922-2010) was a painter and graphic artist who, in the early 1950s, radicalized the conservative Dutch art world. Together with five other influential artists, he founded the post-war European expressionist movement CoBrA in 1948. Initially heavily influenced by Picasso's work, Corneille created abstract work. From the late 1960s, Corneille's work took on a more figurative character. In this work, birds, women and flowers are often the subjects.
