WORKS ON PAPER

Karel Appel (1921–2006) was one of the foremost artists of the Netherlands post-1945. As co-founder of the group CoBrA (Copenhagen/Brussels/Amsterdam), he created an international avant-garde network and was one of the expressive artists who brought about a post-war artistic revival.

Karel Appel’s drawings have very rarely been seen. Drawing was not merely a by-product of painting for Appel, however. He was continually creating spontaneous works on paper, producing them in creative spurts which also helped him clarify his art as a whole.
