1951 1951

"1951," created in 1951 by Dutch artist Karel Appel, is a vibrant example of his expressive style. This painting, with its bold, simplified forms and bright colors, depicts two birds, one perched atop the other. Appel's signature use of thick lines and swirling forms, characteristic of the "CoBrA" movement, imbues the work with a sense of childlike energy and naivete. The bold colors and whimsical forms of Appel's art evoke a sense of joy and freedom, inviting viewers to embrace the power of imagination.
