Abstract in blue and green, 1948;

Provenance: Private Collection, London
Note: Corpora studied under Arman Vergeaud, at the art Academy in Tunisia. Later he travelled to Europe and in 1931 settled in Paris, where he met Sergio Signori and Alberto Giacometti. In 1945, he would make Italy his home, there he collaborated with Guttuso, Fazzini and the other members of the Neo-Cubista group. Towards the end of the 1940s, when this piece was created, he began to reject Cubist formulae and adopted a freer formula idiom.
