// Nesting Bird by Karel Appel is a lithograph created in 1978, part of a limited edition series. This print, measuring 54.6 x 73.7 cm, exemplifies Appel's abstract and expressionist style, characteristic of his involvement in the CoBrA movement. The artwork features a dynamic and colorful composition where the form of a bird is rendered with bold, sweeping brushstrokes and vibrant colors such as deep blues, reds, yellows, and purples. The chaotic energy and layered textures evoke movement and spontaneity, bringing the nesting bird to life in an abstract, almost primal manner, typical of Appel’s expressive approach to art.

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.
