Nice Corneille 82/200. Lithograph
Guillaume Corneille van Beverloo, better known as Corneille, was a Dutch painter. Although largely self-taught, he took art courses at the Amsterdam State Academy between 1940 and 1942. In 1946 he held his first exhibition in Groningen. He himself claimed that painting is neither a hobby nor a job, but rather a vocation. Initially he was strongly influenced by the work of Picasso, but in 1948 he broke away from this and became one of the founders of the Dutch Experimental Group, together with Karel Appel and Constant Nieuwenhuys. All three artists left Amsterdam and moved to Paris, where they formed the international art group CoBrA.
