Three screenprints in colors (one with silver mylar) on wove paper. - Each signed in pencil, one dedicated 'Jack + Ian' and dated '75', two annotated 'ea' (an épreuve d'artiste, aside from the editions of 100). This group of three screenprints by Karel Appel, created in 1975 and circa 1978, reflects the artist’s signature CoBrA style—expressive, childlike forms with bold outlines and vivid colors. The works combine figurative abstraction and intense color blocking, with one print incorporating silver mylar for added visual texture. Each print features whimsical, surreal figures—part human, part creature—rendered in sweeping lines and energetic shapes. Appel’s spontaneous approach is evident in the expressive brushwork and vibrant palette. Two prints are annotated as artist’s proofs (épreuve d'artiste), and all are hand-signed in pencil.

What is Figuration Libre?
Figuration Libre is an art movement that is equivalent to the French Bad Painting and Neo-Expressionism in Europe and America. The term was coined by Ben Vautier and the Fluxus movement. In 1981, Robert Combas, François Boisrond, Hervé Di Rosa, and Rémi Blanchard formed the Figuration Libre group. The term can be interpreted as free style art, emphasizing spontaneity, freedom, and a rejection of traditional artistic conventions.
