Description from the seller

In Corneille's work, birds frequently appear as powerful symbols of freedom, movement, and imagination. A bird has a special role: due to its dark color and sleek form, it often stands for mystery, power, or the unknown. Corneille combines the bird with his characteristic bright colors and simplified shapes, making the animal seem at once threatening and poetic. This fits with 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 within post-war art. His work evolved from abstract to figurative, with recurring themes such as birds, women, and flowers. This colorful screen print is a beautiful example of his later style.

Dimensions: 76 x 57 cm

Viewing possible. We have our own framing workshop (85th anniversary) and work with recognized restorers (Restauratoren Nederland). Please feel free to contact us via our website.
