AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Lithograph by Karel Appel, executed in an abstract style.

The work is characterized by expressive use of color and a free, energetic visual language, typical of his oeuvre.

Karel Appel was one of the leading figures of the post-war CoBrA movement (1948–1951). His work is regarded as representative of the ideals of this group of artists, who expressed their resistance to traditional painting with its rules and taboos in their work.

During his CoBrA period, Appel painted mythical animals and fantasy beings.

After 1951 his painting style became increasingly intense, until line and color field merged into one turbulent, expressive mass of paint.

Dimensions: 37 x 47 cm
Dimensions with frame: 81 x 71 cm

Provenance: Private collection, the Netherlands

Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house frame shop, celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
