De Visvangst 1951

"De Visvangst," meaning "The Fishing," is a 1951 abstract painting by Dutch artist Corneille (1922-2010). It is a striking example of CoBrA art, an artistic movement that emerged in the post-war period. The painting features bold, vibrant colors and expressive lines, creating a sense of movement and energy. The use of geometric shapes, contrasting colors, and a grid pattern further enhances the dynamism of the composition. The painting's title hints at the subject matter, but it is ultimately left to the viewer to interpret the abstract forms. It is a highly engaging and imaginative work that exemplifies the CoBrA movement's embrace of spontaneity and emotional expression.
