Lithograph in Colors -Signed and numbered by artist // Karel Appel's Once I Was The Sun (1978) is a vibrant lithograph that exudes energy through bold strokes and an intense color palette. Known for his expressionistic style, Appel uses layered dashes of red, blue, yellow, and purple, forming an abstract, swirling composition that evokes warmth and movement. The chaotic arrangement and thick, gestural marks create a sense of depth and rhythm, drawing the viewer into the artwork’s pulsating core. This limited edition print, hand-signed and numbered, exemplifies Appel's mastery of color and form, capturing an emotive, almost primal energy that invites interpretation and contemplation.

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.
