Composition 1966

Corneille made this boldly colored abstract composition. Corneille was a Dutch artist and a key figure in the Cobra movement, emerging in the post-World War II era, it prioritized spontaneity and raw expression, reflecting a desire to break free from the constraints of traditional art. In this piece, we see shapes and colors that evoke a sense of childlike wonder. The composition eschews traditional representation, inviting us into a world of emotions and sensations rather than concrete objects. What do you feel when you look at this piece? Corneille's art often explores themes of freedom, movement, and the human connection to nature. By rejecting conventional forms, Corneille opens up space for new narratives, ones that celebrate the power of imagination and the beauty of the unexpected. This piece is not just a painting, but a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, its capacity for joy, and creativity in the face of adversity.
