The artwork, titled “Le soleil rouge,” was created by the artist Corneille in 1963. It belongs to the Art Informel movement and is classified as abstract art.
In the composition, the viewer is immediately drawn to a prominent red shape in the top left corner, suggestive of the titular “red sun.” The canvas is filled with an array of abstract forms rendered in dominant hues of red, black, and earthy tones, set against a muted yellow background. The lines are bold and often appear erratic, creating a sense of dynamic movement and raw energy. Various organic and amorphous shapes interweave, forming an intricate pattern that invites the viewer to explore its depths. The overall atmosphere of the artwork is one of intense expression and uncontained creative spirit, characteristic of the Art Informel movement.
