// Los Pájaros by Karel Appel, created in 1988, is an aquatint print that brings to life a sense of movement and energy through bold, abstract forms. The artwork features expressive, gestural strokes in black with splashes of vibrant blue, suggesting the dynamic motion of birds in flight. Appel’s style, rooted in the CoBrA movement, emphasizes spontaneity and raw emotion, visible in the chaotic yet harmonious composition. The minimal color palette against a pale background allows the viewer to focus on the intensity of the lines, capturing an essence of freedom and wildness that aligns with Appel’s fascination with animalistic and primal forms.

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.
