AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"Chien de Face", a lithography by Karel Appel published in 1977.
Signed and dated in graphite lower right margin of sheet; edition lower left. This is an e.a. (épreuve d'artiste, in English: artist's proof).
Dimensions of image: 67 x 52 cm
Dimensions of sheet: 99.5 x 64.5 cm
The artwork is in very good condition. The white outer margins of the paper show some traces and scratches of its previous frame, which will disappear when this artwork would be framed again.
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, color etching and carborundum techniques 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.
