Provenance: the artist's entourage.
Corneille, whose real name is Guillaume Cornelis Beverloo, is a Dutch painter, engraver, sculptor and ceramist born in 1922 who worked a large part of his life in France.
After studying at the Amsterdam School of Fine Arts, Cornelis went in search of a "new creativity" and discovered surrealism.
In 1948 he founded the CoBra art movement, together with Karel Appel, Constant, Asper Jorn, Christian Dotremont and Joseph Noiret, in reaction to the quarrel between abstraction and figuration.
He died in 2010 at the age of 88 and was buried according to his wishes next to Vincent van Gogh in the cemetery of Auvers-sur-Oise.
