Catalogue Note
In 1947 Corneille discovered surrealism. The visionary poetry of Lautréamont and Rimbaud and the art of Paul Klee and Joan Miró made him receptive for an inner reality that he could express spontaneously. In 1950, moved to Paris, he drew on his imagination to create a new expressive reality.
