A founding member of the influential CoBrA movement, Appel’s signature style is defined by a primitive, childlike spontaneity, thick expressive outlines, and a bold, saturated color palette. This striking 1969 lithograph beautifully captures his celebrated abstract-expressionist approach to animal subjects, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors of 20th-century modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned 106\/110.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppel's early works were heavily influenced by Picasso, Matisse, and Jean Dubuffet. However, he soon developed a unique style characterized by bold colors, dynamic brushstrokes, and a raw, almost primal, energy. In 1948, he co-founded the COBRA movement (an acronym for Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam) along with other avant-garde artists like Asger Jorn and Constant Nieuwenhuys. This group rejected traditional aesthetics and embraced spontaneity, experimentation, and a childlike sense of wonder in their art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 37.5'W x 29.25\"H\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Powers Collection MA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45507365961837,"sku":null,"price":1975.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2610\/2893\/files\/powerscollectionnewport-10_1.jpg?v=1785088975","url":"https:\/\/powers-collection.com\/products\/karel-appel-dutch-1921-2006-cat-1969","provider":"Powers Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
