Hand-enriched silkscreen // Karel Appel's Deux Personnages, a hand-enriched silkscreen print from 1978, showcases his bold, expressive style. The artwork depicts two abstract figures rendered in vivid, contrasting colors like red, blue, yellow, and green. The forms are simplified, almost childlike, with energetic brushstrokes giving a sense of spontaneity. The figures' faces, while stylized, convey a mixture of emotion, suggesting interaction or dialogue. The use of mixed media and silkscreen techniques adds texture, making the colors appear vibrant against the black background. Appel's work here evokes a playful yet intense exploration of human expression.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
