Karel Appel: Works on Paper presents the artist's drawings, which have rarely been exhibited. Appel did not consider his drawings byproducts of painting. In spontaneous creative bursts, he frequently produced works on paper that helped him clarify his art as a whole. Thus, the childlike creatures of the early years, the almost abstract expressive outbursts of the 1950s, and the experiments with collage can be experienced in a completely unique way in his drawings.

Karel Appel (1921-2006) is one of the Netherlands' most outstanding artists. As a cofounder of the CoBrA group, he was part of an international network of avant-garde artists and is regarded as one of the rejuvenators of post-1945 art. In the 1950s he began spending long periods of time in Paris and New York and soon enjoyed international success. Today his colorful sculptures can be found in many public squares, and his often large-format paintings are in museums around the world.

Karel Appel: Works on Paper

Revisits Appel's early interest in children's art, his stylistic experiments, and his highly personal interpretation of traditional subjects like the nude, the portrait, and the urban or rural landscapeKarel Appel (1921 2006) is perhaps the most renowned Dutch artist of the latter half of the twentieth century and one of founding members of the avant-garde Cobra group. Marking the tenth anniversary of the artist's death, this survey of twenty-two paintings and sculptures provides a fresh look at an oeuvre that goes beyond the 1950s, spanning more than sixty years. A Gesture of Color revisits Appel's early interest in children's art, his stylistic experiments, and his highly personal - and sometimes almost abstract - interpretation of traditional subjects like the nude, the portrait, and the urban or rural landscape. Published to coincide with an exhibition at Phillips Collection, Washington DC, June 18, 2016 to September 18, 2016.Also available: Karel Appel: Works on Paper ISBN 9783944874319

The Dutch born artist Karel Appel was unquestionably one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, helping to define one of its chief features: "If I paint like a barbarian, it's because we live in a barbarous age," he once famously declared. This catalogue of an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum shows that he was still going strong in the last decade of his life, presenting a selection of the artist's paintings, sculptures and works on paper from his final phase.
