In his so-called "germinating abstraction" (the term was coined by the art critic Charles Estienne), the figures gradually emerge and reveal themselves, like a sprouting plant. Guillaume Corneille's art is always narrative. Guillaume Corneille (1922-2010) was born in Liège of Dutch parents and was a member of the Cobra group along with Constant, Dotremont, Karel Appel, Asger Jorn, Noiret, Doucet and Alechinsky.
