'Corneille' was used by the Belgian Cobra artist Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo (1922-2010) as a stage name. He studied art at The Academy of Art in Holland, and helped start Reflex in 1948 and the following year to start the Cobra group here in Denmark. He thus had a great influence on not only Danish, but also Scandinavian art for many years to come. From the 1970s, Corneille dealt with a strong graphic simplicity. Easily recognizable are the strong colours, the defined shapes and motifs with women, birds, cats, suns, trees and plants.
