Planetary Painter : Karel Appel
Karel Appel was born in Amsterdam in 1921 and died in Zurich in 2006. He was co-founder and a leading member of the Cobra movement formed in 1948 by a group of artists from Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam. This movement rejected the abstraction of the European paintings of the 40's, considering it too passive and believed in instinct over reason. The art of Appel was inspired by children paintings and mythology. From New York, where he lived for a long time, he created many exuberant and colorfull paintings and lithographs exploiting the free expression of his unconscious.
