Corneille – Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo (1922 – 2010), better known under his pseudonym Corneille, was a Dutch artist and a co-founder of the CoBrA movement. Clearly indebted to Surrealist theories of automatism and sharing Jean Dubuffet’s interest in Art Brut, CoBrA artists produced ‘childlike’ works, at times naïve, bringing to life a world full of colourful animals and anthropomorphic forms.
