Corneille - 1986 Women and Birds - Sold

Woman and bird: dancing in the sun

This lithograph displays an intriguing and colorful composition with a clear central focus on what appears to be a magnifying glass. The work has a dark purple to gray background dotted with black spots or dots, creating a cosmic or dotted texture.

The dominant element is a large green oval shape in the upper part of the image, which represents the magnifying glass. Within this green "lens" are several abstract elements: a stylized sun with radiating lines, several circular shapes, and what appear to be organic or cellular structures. A brownish shape is also visible within the magnified area.

A bright green handle extends vertically downward from the magnifying glass. The lower portion of the composition features warm colors—yellow/orange and pink/coral—possibly representing a landscape or abstract terrain. On the right is a dark, cloud-like mass.

The artistic style is expressive and quite abstract, with strong color contrasts and a playful, investigative atmosphere. It seems as if the artist is exploring the idea of scientific observation or discovery, with the magnifying glass serving as a window into a hidden or enlarged world.

Beautiful lithograph signed at the bottom in graphite by the Cobra painter Corneille in 1986.
