This abstract painting by Karel Appel, a prominent figure in the *CoBrA* movement, features vibrant colors and bold strokes, characteristic of his style. The work is reminiscent of the expressive and intuitive approach of *Art Brut*, emphasizing raw emotions and spontaneous gestures. The figures, seemingly animalistic, are rendered in a simplified and childlike manner, highlighting the artist's fascination with the subconscious and primal instincts. Appel's use of vivid colors, like reds, blues, and yellows, creates a dynamic and energetic composition that captures the essence of his artistic vision.
