The artwork titled “The arrival of the bird” was created by the artist Corneille in the year 1951. It falls under the Art Informel and Surrealism movements and belongs to the figurative genre.
In the artwork, an abstract figure appears prominently, combining both human and avian elements, evocative of surrealist themes. The figure’s form is composed of dynamic, interlocking shapes and vibrant colors which suggest a whimsical and dreamlike state. The bird, rendered in simplified lines and blocks of color, melds seamlessly with the human form, symbolizing perhaps a transformation or unity between man and nature. The background offers a juxtaposition of muted and bold hues, creating a contrast that brings forth the central figure’s complexity. The overall composition of the artwork is balanced yet lively, reflecting the spontaneity and emotive quality often found in Art Informel.
