Yellow Nude 2000

"Yellow Nude" (2000) by Karel Appel depicts a reclining nude figure with gestural brushstrokes in a style characteristic of the artist's later work. The figure, rendered in shades of yellow, is partially obscured by large, expressive strokes of red and black. Appel, a Dutch painter known for his colorful and gestural abstract expressionist style, often explored themes of the human form and the body in his art. This painting exemplifies Appel's signature use of bold colors and energetic lines, creating a dynamic and expressive composition.
