Through a new selection of works and an abundant historical documentation, this book retraces Corneille's creative itinerary, as painter and traveller, at the heart of the second half of the twentieth century. It develops an in-depth presentation of his travels, his collection of African art, his artistic collaborations and international exhibitions. It also explores his photography and his many writings."
