Karel Appel A founder of the CoBrA association of painters, Karel Appel rendered expressionist canvases with vibrant color, violent brushwork, and thick application of impasto paint. The artist derived much inspiration from primitive art and children’s drawings, and was influenced by contemporaries such as Jean Dubuffet, the major exponent of Art Brut. #karelappel Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky Like Loading...
