Karel Appel Posters and Art Prints

Appel's early work was influenced by primitive art and the art of children, which he believed had a directness and immediacy that was lacking in traditional Western art. He often used thick layers of paint and strong, gestural brushstrokes to create dynamic, spontaneous compositions. His use of color was also an important aspect of his art, and he often employed bright, contrasting colors to create a sense of tension and vibrancy.
