Description

Corneille was, alongside Appel and Constant, one of the leading figures of the CoBrA group (1948-1951) in the Netherlands. In the fifties, he and Appel moved into a studio on the Rue Santeuil in Paris, where he developed a style characterised by expressive lines and well-considered composition. Following a number of long journeys (to Africa) in 1957 and 1958, Corneille painted a kind of abstract urban constructions and agglomerations consisting of a whimsical accumulation of shapes and lines for a few years. In the sixties, he switched to the exuberantly painted birds, women and suns for which he would become known to the general public.
