Description from the seller
In this colorful work by Corneille, several characteristic elements from his visual language come together: birds, fish and a human figure. The animals seem to move freely through the composition and together form a fantastical, almost dreamlike world. The bright colors red, green, blue and yellow are alternated with strong black outlines, making each figure clearly stand out. The simple, playful shapes give the work a spontaneous and almost childish quality. It is precisely this combination of human, animal, nature and vivid colors that is typical for Corneille's later work.
Corneille, full name Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo (1922–2010), was a Dutch artist who was born in Liège and was one of the founders of the international CoBrA movement. He, like other CoBrA artists, sought a free and spontaneous way of working and was influenced among other things by children’s drawings and artists such as Paul Klee. Travel, especially to Africa, also had a great influence on his art. Later he developed the very recognizable visual language of bright colors, bold lines and recurring figures such as women, birds, cats and other animals.
