Corneille - Trees and rocks

This lithograph is an excellent example of Corneille's work and his contribution to the Cobra movement, an avant-garde art movement that emerged in the late 1940s.
Corneille had several periods after Cobra. The first was his lyrical, abstract period, after which he made landscapes, inspired by trips to Africa from the fifties. The distant journeys are a great source of inspiration for his artworks. In his early work from the fifties, impressions from Africa can mainly be found in his work. In the early sixties, Central America and the Caribbean in particular influenced Corneille's work, in which he fell back on more figuration in his work. In the early seventies, his work became brighter in colour and simpler in form, influenced by a trip to Cuba.
This lithograph from 1962 was purchased in 1994 in this frame at a gallery on the Nieuwe Spiegelgracht in Amsterdam.
The condition of the lithograph is good.
The lithograph shows a dynamic composition full of abstract shapes and vibrant colors. Corneille's work is known for its expressive and playful style, and this piece is no exception. The images show a mix of black lines and planes combined with red, pink and green tones, which together evoke a sense of movement and energy.
Some reasons why collectors and art lovers can't pass up this piece are:

• Artistic Value: Corneille is a renowned artist in modern art and his works are highly sought after. This lithograph, with its expressive style and vibrant colours, is a showcase of his artistic vision.
• Limited Edition: With only 210 signed copies, this lithograph is a rare and valuable collector's item. The limited edition increases the exclusivity and potential value of the artwork.
