"Une belle journée de l'été" from 1998 by Corneille is a characteristic work that shows his typical cheerful and colorful style. Corneille, one of the co-founders of the Cobra movement after World War II, was known for his abstract, yet vibrant and emotionally expressive works of art.
The lithograph reflects Corneille's fascination with nature, female forms and animals, especially birds, which are often recurring themes in his work. In "Une belle journée de l'été", which can be translated as "A beautiful summer day", we probably see an integration of natural and playful figures, expressed in bright, contrasting colors. The title itself gives the works an atmosphere of warmth and pleasure, which is typical of Corneille's approach to his art, in which he creates a world of fantasy and joy.
Such lithographs are popular collectibles for enthusiasts of both Cobra art and modern graphic art, known for their powerful use of color and immediate emotional impact.
An artist's proof, often referred to by the letters A/E (Artist's Edition), is a special edition of a work of art that is kept separate by the artist. These prints are usually of a higher quality and often have personal value to the artist. Here are some characteristics and reasons why an artist's proof is special:
Limited Edition: The artist's proof is often available in a very limited edition, sometimes only a few copies, making it rare and therefore more valuable.
Quality: The prints of an artist's proof are often produced with extra care and attention, which can result in higher quality compared to the regular edition.
Signature and Numbering: They are usually signed and numbered by the artist, which increases authenticity and value.
Personal Meaning: The artist's proof can have a special meaning for the artist himself. They may use these copies for promotion, gifts or as a personal keepsake.
Collectible value: For art collectors and enthusiasts, artist's proofs are highly sought after because of their exclusivity and the direct connection to the artist.
An artist's proof is therefore special because of the limited edition, the high quality, the direct involvement of the artist and the resulting increased collection value.
