Karel Appel Attributed (Dutch, 1921-2006) Oil on Board. Multicolored figural abstract oil on canvas attributed to Karel Christiaan Appel (Dutch 1921-2006) framed. Signed and dated mid-right "Appel '56". Appel was likely living in Paris during the time of this painting. Born on April 25, 1921 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Appel studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten and had his first solo exhibition in 1946. Inspired by the work of Paul Klee and Joan Miró, Appel's aesthetic is described as reminiscent of folk art. In 1948, he helped form the CoBrA group (an acronym for the cities the artists were from: Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam), along with Asger Jorn, Constant, Corneille and other artists. Following the dissolution of CoBrA in 1952, Appel joined Art Informel, another collection of abstract artists which included Michel Tapié and Henri Michaux. He died on May 3, 2006 in Zürich, Switzerland. Appel’s works are presently held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
