Corneille
Corneille ( Corneille Beverloo) (1922– ). Belgian painter, active mainly in Paris. Born in Liège, he studied drawing at the Amsterdam Academy, 1940–3, but he was self-taught as a painter. In 1948 he was one of the founders of the Cobra group and in 1950 he moved to Paris with his fellow member Karel Appel. His work of this time was typical of the Cobra style—brilliant in colour and vigorous in brushwork, with child-like imagery suggesting mythical beings. During the 1950s he gradually abandoned figurative references for a swirling abstract style, but in the 1960s he reintroduced the imagery of his Cobra period.
