LE TAPIS NOIR 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. LE TAPIS NOIR is an erotic and intimate interior scene depicting a lying female nude whose muted beige pink body with dark maroon hair and cobalt blue delineated form reclines on a deep black carpet provocatively looking out toward the viewer. Her head rests on a decorative round pillow cushion; a bright red armchair in the distant corner draws attention to the yellow beige damask wallpaper...

About the artist - Mel Ramos(1935 - 2018, California) Mel Ramos is an American Pop artist best known for his female nudes painted alongside brand logos. The artist’s coupling of women with familiar products like martini glasses and bananas serves as a commentary on the ways in which capitalism has employed the female body. “I make sure that my pictures are not too erotic and that they always have a trace of humor,” he said of his work. “I make sure they are ‘in good taste.’ Either you understand it or not.” Born on July 24, 1935 in Sacramento, CA, Ramos like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, found inspiration through the comic books Wonder Woman and Superman growing up and later pinup posters...
