Description
This 1957 color lithograph by Dutch CoBrA movement founder Karel Appel showcases his signature expressive style, characterized by bold, gestural lines and a vivid primary color palette. The composition features energetic, childlike forms that bridge the gap between abstraction and figuration, a hallmark of Appel's work during the mid-20th century. Printed in a limited edition of 50, this piece reflects the raw spontaneity and "anti-academic" approach that defined the CoBrA group's rebellion against traditional artistic constraints.
