Mois de la Photo à Paris – Guillaume Corneille – 1990 – Original Serigraph on Linen
In 1990, Dutch artist Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo, known as Corneille (1922–2010), created this poster for Mois de la Photo à Paris, the city’s biennial photography festival held each November since 1980. Corneille was a co-founder of the influential CoBrA movement (1948–1951), which championed a bold, expressive, and experimental approach to art. His work is celebrated for its vivid colors, abstracted forms, and recurring motifs of birds, women, and landscapes.
