Corneille’s hand-signed and dated 2009 lithograph, *Poeme au soleil*, is edition 33/70 and sold framed.
Description from the seller
This colorful lithograph shows a stylized portrait of a woman beside a fanciful bird, brought together in a playful, circular composition. The strong black contour lines and vivid colors in pink, yellow, green, red and blue give the work a cheerful and expressive appearance. The simplified forms and the decorative character evoke the visual language of modern art, in which fantasy and reality come together in a harmonious way. The work exudes playfulness, optimism and a special connection between humans and nature.
Corneille was the artist's name of Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo (1922–2010), born in Liège and one of the leading Dutch artists associated with the CoBrA movement. Together with, among others, Karel Appel and Constant, he belonged to the experimental artists who after World War II sought a free and spontaneous way of making art. Corneille drew inspiration from, among others, children's drawings, nature, people and his many travels. Later he developed a very recognizable, colorful visual language in which especially women, birds and celestial bodies frequently appear. In addition to paintings and drawings he produced a lot of graphics, which brought his work to a wide audience.
