Description

Karel Appel (1921-2006) - You and Me. Original lithograph in colours on wove paper, 76 x 56 cm. Signed and dated "1962" in the left-hand panel. Condition A, perfect state of conservation. This work is an explosion of colour and form characteristic of the impulsive, joyful style of the co-founder of the CoBrA movement. Using thick strokes and a vibrant primary palette, Appel explores the theme of duality and encounter. The figures, bordering on childlike abstraction, exude a raw energy and formal freedom that aim to liberate artistic expression from any academic straitjacket. The lithographic technique sublimates the contrasting textures and spontaneity of the artist's gesture, making this piece a dazzling testimony to his wild humanism and mastery of graphic composition dating from the early 60s.
