A founder of theĀ CoBrAĀ association of painters, Karel Appel rendered expressionist canvases with vibrant color, violent brushwork, and thick application ofĀ impastoĀ paint. The artist derived much inspiration from primitive art and childrenās drawings, and was influenced by contemporaries such asĀ Jean Dubuffet, the major exponent ofĀ Art Brut. Though Appel is primarily known for his paintings that combine elements of both figuration and of abstraction, the artist also experimented with relief paintings, sculpture, and design.
