Product description
Beautiful screen print 9/25 by Corneille. Incredibly beautiful framed piece. Original purchase intention is present.
The Dutch painter and poet Corneille mainly depicted happiness. This joy was also commercially exploited in later years. Images of Corneille were used to decorate crockery, ties and other commercial products. This decorative work by the celebrated Cobra artist was critically approached by the art world. With his popularity he surpassed his fellow Cobra artists Karel Appel and Constant in the Netherlands. Anyway: Corneille was a popular and one of the most important post-war Dutch artists.
Cobra
Corneille was born on July 3, 1922 in Liège as Corneille Guillaume Beverloo. Although the artist was born in Belgium, he has Dutch nationality. He had Dutch parents. Corneille spent his childhood in Haarlem where he studied at an advertising school. His father was an engineer and did not understand his choice of art. The decision to become an artist caused a permanent break with his parental home. Corneille moved to Amsterdam, where he studied from 1943 at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam. During these years of study he met Karel Appel.
Corneille's work from the war years seems inspired by Joan Miró. The paintings showed wild colors and shapes. Corneille had his first solo exhibition in 1946 in Groningen. He traveled with Karel Appel to Liège, where he became acquainted with artists from the Jeune Peinture Belge. A year later he exhibited with Karel Appel in Amsterdam.
Cobra
Corneille stood at the cradle of free painting in Europe. In 1948 he also got to know Constant and together with others he founded the Dutch Experimental Group and later Cobra. Cobra was founded by the Belgians Christian Dotremont and Joseph Noiret, the Dane Asger Jorn and the Dutch Karel Appel, Constant and Corneille. The name Cobra refers to the international element of this art movement. The abbreviation stands for Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam, the capitals of the countries where most of the Cobra artists came from.
In 1948 he settled in Paris. For Corneille, the Cobra era was mainly dominated by experimentation. Art had to be naive and above all spontaneous. The academic and intellectual approach was rejected by the Cobra artists. They were mainly inspired by children's drawings, primitive folk art and 'outsider art', art made by mentally ill artists. This 'naive' art form is seen by art critics as a reaction to the horrors and arbitrariness of the Second World War.
