Corneille (Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo), signed lithograph titled Compositie met vrouw, vogel en kat, 1996, limited edition 199/200, 58 × 50 cm framed (32 × 26 cm unframed), Cobra-style work from the Netherlands, sold with frame by Galerie.
Description from the seller
In this colorful work by Corneille, a playful fantasy world arises in which humans, animals, and nature mingle. We see, among other things, a human figure, a cat, birds, water and various plants and landscapes. The bright colors yellow, red, blue and green are outlined with bold black lines, giving the piece almost the character of an illustrated story. The different figures fill almost the entire image and create a lively, energetic composition. Birds, cats and human figures are distinctive motifs in Corneille's later work, in which from the 1960s he increasingly returned to recognizable, figurative representations.
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 sought, like other CoBrA artists, a free and spontaneous way of working and was, among other things, inspired 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 vivid colors, bold lines and recurring figures such as women, birds, cats and other animals.
Dimensions: 32 x 26 cm
Dimensions with frame: 58 x 50 cm
