About the Item
NIGHT ANIMAL is an original limited edition lithograph by the Dutch artist Karel Appel on printed using traditional hand lithography techniques on archival printmaking paper, 100% acid free. NIGHT ANIMAL is a rarely seen, lively, imaginative composition featuring a multicolored abstract cat figure comprised of bold graphic strokes printed in bright shades of pink, yellow, red, blue, lavender, green, and rust surrounded by a dark brown black, paint stroked background. In this exuberantly colored, handmade lithograph by Appel, NIGHT ANIMAL presents a visually irresistible abstract animal who appears to be somewhat timid showing a slightly sideways smile on its face! 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.
Print size - 21.5 x 29.5 in., unframed, full bleed image, excellent condition, signed in white pencil by Karel Appel on lower right corner, print documentation provided
Year published - 1979
Edition size - 175, plus proofs
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.
Karel Appel, (born April 25, 1921, Amsterdam, Netherlands—died May 3, 2006, Zürich, Switzerland), Dutch painter of turbulent, colorful, and semi-abstract compositions, who was a co-founder (1948) of the CoBRA group of northern European Expressionists. He was also a noted sculptor and graphic artist.
Appel attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Amsterdam (1940–43), and helped found the “Reflex” group, which became known as CoBRA (for Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam), in 1948. He moved to Paris in 1950 and by the 1960s had settled in New York City; he later lived in Italy and Switzerland. Partly in reaction against what they perceived as the sterile academicism of the de Stijl movement, the CoBRA artists assimilated a variety of more-impulsive influences, including folk art, children’s art, and l’art brut (“raw art”) of Jean Dubuffet. They exploited the spontaneity and intensity of the contemporary American Action painting while maintaining a degree of representation. Appel’s style is characterized by thick layering of pigment, violent brushwork, and a crude, reductive figuration.
Appel first visited the United States in 1957, where he painted portraits of prominent jazz musicians, including Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie. His public works include a mural in the UNESCO building in Paris. His figurative sculptures in wood and metal share with the paintings a brutal, imaginative expressionism.
