About the Item
A large and impressive Karel Appel of his most desirable subject, abstracted faces. Very difficult to find a work of this size and impact by the artist. Often the faces are not as distinguishable as here, a very expressive work! Also rare to find a great frame on one, this one has a 22 karat wide modernist frame of exceptional quality. A iconic image and internationally known artist.

Mexico-Curandero, Surrealist painting
Located in New York, NY
From 1952 until 1963 Forster resided in Mexico, a popular destination for Canadian artists. In Mexico City Forster became fully engaged in the art scene, becoming friendly with the great Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Rufino Tamayo who influenced Forster’s works. Forster placed special emphasis on the supremacy of color in works such as Mexico-Curandero.

This is a marvelous work with a rich palette and a suggestiveness of a human form. It is not signed which is not unusual for the artist and it is a recorded work #FOR558A - from the Michael Forster...
