DEUX FEMMES NUES Signed Lithograph, Female Nudes, Blue Sofa, Floral Wallpaper

1979

About the Item

DEUX FEMMES NUES is an original hand drawn limited edition lithograph by the Dutch artist known as CORNEILLE(Guillaume van Beverloo) an abstract expressionist who co-founded the 20th Century experimental art movement CoBrA recognized for their spontaneous, rebellious style of painting that was heavily inspired by the art of children and the mentally ill. Corneille devises his colorful fantastic imagery with exotic plant forms, sensuous female bodies, animals and lively pattern design. DEUX FEMMES NUES portrays two reclining female nudes whose curvaceous dark pink bodies are delineated with cobalt blue painted lines. The women lounge together within a muted warm magenta room; one women lying on a dark blue roll arm sofa, the other on a brick red and green decorative floor cushion. The added detail of floral wallpaper in the background and color accents of bright kelly green, light blue, orange, light ochre and black create an exotic, intimate interior scene. Print size - 19.5 x 25.5 inches, unframed, excellent condition pencil signed by Corneille Year published - 1979 Edition size - 250, plus proofs About the artist Corneille - Guillaume Corneille was born in Liege, Belgium on July 3, 1922. Corneille studied drawing at the Amsterdam Rijksakademie, but as a painter he was entirely self-taught. After having attended courses at the School of Fine Arts in Amsterdam, he started his painting experience influenced by Surrealism. Corneille, also known as Corneille Guillaume Beverloo, was a painter and graphic artist who radicalized the conservative Dutch art world in the early 1950s. He is co-founder with Karel Appel, Eugene Brands and Anton Rosskens of the experimental "Reflex" movement and initiator and exponent of the avant-garde CoBrA artist group with Karel Appel, Constant Nieuwenuhuis, Asger Jorn and Marcel Dotremont In 1949 he undertook his first trip to North Africa, where he discovered the Arab and Berber world. He was notably influenced by African art, which he collected during his time traveling throughout the continent during the 1950s. His work was also affected by Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee and, most notably, Vincent Van Gogh's use of color and form. Corneille after developing his artistic path in an abstract sense towards an abstract landscape, during the 50s, returns to figuration and at the beginning of the 60s, impressed by the colors of the nature of southern Europe and North Africa, he shifted his interest towards expressionism. His approach is often described as imaginative and poetic, and is characterized by an eccentric use of color and his placing of familiar subjects, such as cats, birds, and women, in mythological or juvenile settings. “I am a painter of joy,” the artist declared at his 2007 exhibit at the Cobra Museum. His works are featured in collections at the Cobra Museum of Modern Art in the Netherlands, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. He died in Auvers-sur-Oise on September 5, 2010.
