Grand Master of color in the wake of Gauguin and Matisse, Guillaume Corneille creates a jovial world imbued with exoticism. A traveling artist, Corneille, thanks to his friend Alan Davie, crosses paths with David Hockney on the London scene. Both erudite painters, they share a similar taste for color, the same sense of simplification of the line, and this same constancy in winking at the history of art of past centuries.
