Tête de femme et oiseau pensif, 1980

Publisher's blind stamp in the lower right hand corner. // Guillaume Corneille’s Tête de femme et oiseau pensif (1980) is a vibrant lithograph that fuses abstract and figurative elements in a kaleidoscope of bold colors and playful patterns. The composition features a stylized female face intertwined with a contemplative bird, rendered with Corneille's signature use of rich, expressive lines and exaggerated shapes. The woman's face is filled with swirling patterns and vivid tones of yellow, red, and blue, creating a dynamic visual rhythm. The bird, with its large, introspective eye, hovers above, adding a layer of surreal symbolism that invites viewers to interpret their relationship. Corneille, a founding member of the CoBrA movement, showcases his interest in primitive forms and emotional expression, making this print a compelling exploration of identity and inner reflection. Produced in a limited edition of 300, the print bears the publisher's blind stamp in the lower right corner.
