About
HAPPY COUPLE I is a limited edition lithograph by the Dutch artist Karel Appel printed in 1978 in New York City using traditional hand lithography techniques on archival printmaking paper, 100% acid free. HAPPY COUPLE I is a lively, imaginative, abstract portrait depicting 2 multi color faces together comprised of red, blue, light blue and black surrounded by brightly colored painted brush strokes. Fantastical abstract animal like creatures amidst a backdrop of predominantly yellow with touches of lime green, lavender, white. Karel Appel was one of the founders of the avant-garde art movement CoBrA, active during the late 1940's thru early 1950's. His paintings are known for incorporating applications of vibrant, violent colors often possessing a primal, childlike quality.
