Red Bird 1978

"Red Bird" (1978) is a vibrant and colorful painting by Dutch artist Corneille (1922–2010). The painting features a large red bird with outstretched wings, its body depicted in bold outlines and a striking array of colors. This piece embodies the style of the "CoBrA" movement, an artistic group that rejected abstraction and instead championed a more emotional and expressive approach to art. The dynamic composition and vivid colors give the viewer a sense of playful energy and childlike wonder, characteristic of Corneille's signature style.
