Corneille (Cornelis Guillaume Beverloo) (1922 Liège (Liège) - 2010 Auvers-sur-Oise) Untitled (Children Playing with Dogs) Imaginative, expressive, stylistically typical work by the artist, who studied at the Academy in Amsterdam from 1940 to 1943, characterized by strong colors and contrasting black contours. Together with Pierre Alechinsky, Karel Appel, Constant, Asger Jorn and K. O. Götz, he belonged to the legendary avant-garde artists' group "CoBrA", which had set itself the task of breaking with the conventional understanding of art. In 1950, Corneille moved to Paris, where he lived and worked for the most part until his death. Under the influence of the impressions he gathered on his travels to Asia, South America and Africa, the artist further reduced form and color in his oeuvre and was thus able to further increase expressivity. He took part in documenta II and III (1959 and 1964) in Kassel and is considered one of the most important Dutch artists of the post-war period. His works are represented in international museums and collections such as the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, but his works are also very popular with private collectors.
