Karel APPEL (Amsterdam 1921 - Zurich 2006)
Biography / Education
Karel Appel started his career as an artist as the son of a hairdresser in Amsterdam, where he trained at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam during the war years against his father's wishes. During his years at the Academy , Karel Appel befriended Corneille and Constant. A friendship that would last a very long time and was crucial for his further development. Appel initially worked in an Expressionist style and was heavily influenced by the likes of Picasso and Matisse. A few years after the war he formed the experimental group with Corneille, Wolvecamp and Constant and his work became increasingly autonomous.
In 1948, the members of the experimental group joined forces with artists from Denmark and Belgium and founded the now well-known CoBrA group. CoBrA stands for Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam. The CoBrA group was very influential in post-war Dutch art and enjoys international fame.
The real international breakthrough for Karel Appel came when he himself worked across the border in New York and later in France. In 1968 he had his first solo exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Many exhibitions abroad follow.
Karel Appel can be counted as one of the most important Dutch artists in modern art history.The screen print is in good condition. Framed is a simple but excellent exchange frame.
