Karel Appel (1921- ) Born in the Netherlands, he studied at the Royal Academy in Amsterdam in 1940-43. Appel sought to develop an impulsive formal language based on life, in reaction to geometric academicism. He even founded with others an experimental group. In Paris in 1949, he focused on mastering creative power and did canvases that "look like they were done in a rage". (Schatz) An action painter, Appel gives full rein to his violent expressionism in numerous mural compositions and in stained glass windows. In 1958, Appel established residence in Paris, and in 1959 he came to New York, where he now spends half the year. He won the UNESCO prize at the Venice Biennale in 1952, in 1956 the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam commissioned a large public mural from him which was accepted after considerable public controversy. He was the youngest artist awarded first prize at the Guggenheim international exhibition in 1960. Appel's career was as turbulent as his paintings. When he did a mural for the canteen in Amsterdam's city hall, some diners threw their lunches at it. Some years later when he designed six stained glass windows for a new church in the town of Zaandam, 300 parishioners refused to contribute to the building fund. To Appel, painting is 'a battle.' He pops his colors directly out of the tube, smears them around with fingers, palette knife and occasionally a brush. When the heavy, screaming colors look curdled enough, Appel appends a title, usually one that has no relation to the painting, since one cannot determine any subject matter to the canvas.
