AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

'Heads Like Clouds', a lithography by Karel Appel on Arches paper published in 1971.

This artwork is exceptionally large (71cm x 105cm), which contributes to a very impressive artwork.

Signed, dated and numbered by hand in graphite in the lower right margin of sheet. This is number EA (artist’s proof).

Provenance: private collection.

The artwork is in good condition, despite the outer margins showing fading due to age (55 years). By framing the work, these margins will be covered.

This litho is a beautiful abstract composition full of vibrant colors. It is a very nice example of Northern European expressionism. The combination of the bright colors make this artwork a truly unique and exclusive piece. Karel Appel is one of the most important exponents of European expressionism. In 1948, he founded the Cobra movement with other well known artists like Corneille, Carl Henning Pedersen, Asger Jorn and Pierre Alechinsky.
