Corneille's lithograph "Terre Africaine", created in 1959, is an original work of art closely linked to the CoBrA movement, an avant-garde art movement active from 1948 to 1951. Corneille was one of the co-founders of this movement, who was known for his experimental and expressive style.
The style of "Terre Africaine" reflects the typical characteristics of the CoBrA movement, such as the vibrant colors, spontaneous forms and a free approach to composition and subject. The lithography shows an abstract representation with predominantly dark and red tones, creating a sense of depth and texture.
Here are some details about the lithography:

The work is a representative example of Corneille's contribution to the CoBrA movement and his individual artistic development after the group's dissolution. His use of color and form shows a clear influence from his travels and interest in non-Western cultures, especially Africa, which is evident in the title "Terre Africaine".
