Corneille : La Peinture Paradis = Corneille : Painting As Paradise

Exhibition at the Musée de Pont-Aven, 1 February - 24 May 2020

Corneille (1922-2010) dedicated his life to painting. In the fifty years of his career, he created a rich, expressive and polymorphous body of work.

Through a new selection of works and an abundant historical documentation, this exhibition catalogue throws new light on this artist's creation, from the avant-garde of the Cobra years to his return to figuration at the end of the 1960s. It develops an in-depth presentation of his travels, his collection of African art, his artistic collaborations and international exhibitions. It also explores his photography and his many writings.
