N.B.:
In 1951 Corneille travelled to the Sahara. The deep impression left by this first encounter with the desert stimulated the artist over the next years to travel to South-America, the United States, and Central-America. These travels were highly influential in his later work and the places he visited often returned as subjects in his work.
