Corneille (1922-2010) - Dessin de jeunesse à l'encre : Tunisie

Tunisia, 1955, Chinese ink on paper, issued with a certificate of authenticity from the Foundation. Dimensions of the work: 46 x 69 cm. Dimensions with frame: 65 x 87 cm. Guillaume Corneille travels to Tunisia from 1948 to join Asger Jorn and retrace the artistic path of Paul Klee. A drawing of great mastery in a period when the painter is very close to the architect Aldo van Eyck, with whom he is preparing a voyage of several months in Black Africa. Large format, quite rare because Corneille is often working in intimate formats in the 1950s. The Cobra painter rarely works from nature; his works often give free rein to the imagination within his studio where he reinterprets lived experiences. A figure on a sun lounger can be seen sunbathing in front of his villa-hotel. Original work by the painter Guillaume Corneille (1922-2010), a painter born to Dutch parents, founding member of the Cobra group with Asger Jorn, Karel Appel, Constant, Dotremont, Alechinsky and Jacques Doucet, among others. Patches of yellowing in the paper.
