Appel, Karel

Peintre et sculpteur néerlandais, cofondateur de CoBrA.

Courte biographie

Karel Appel fut une figure majeure de l’après-guerre dont la touche énergique et le langage spontané ont rompu avec l’académisme. Cofondateur de CoBrA, il a promu l’expérimentation collective, la liberté des matériaux et une expressivité proche de l’enfance. Peintre, sculpteur et auteur d’œuvres graphiques, il a rapidement gagné une audience internationale via galeries, imprimeurs et éditeurs. Ses séries graphiques et livres d’artiste, centrés sur la couleur et le geste, ont élargi le discours de l’avant-garde européenne.

Lien avec le monde du livre

Appel réalisa de nombreux portfolios et livres d’artiste avec des imprimeurs spécialisés; lithographie, bois et sérigraphie furent essentiels à son œuvre imprimé.
