Deux têtes, Serie Personages - Original lithograph on paper - Hand signed and dated - Image size 19.8 x 23.6 in. (50.4 x 59.8 cm) // Serie Personages by Karel Appel, created in 1969, is a dynamic and expressive lithograph showcasing Appel’s mastery of vibrant color and abstracted forms. The artwork features two large, abstracted human faces rendered in bold, blocky shapes of red, blue, green, yellow, and black. The figures’ exaggerated eyes and mouths, along with their fragmented, overlapping forms, convey a sense of emotional intensity and movement. This piece is characteristic of Appel's style, where childlike spontaneity is combined with expressive abstraction, embodying the energy and raw emotion that define much of his work. The use of thick outlines and vivid colors creates a striking contrast, while the abstracted forms give the figures a sense of vitality and presence. Part of his Serie Personages, this lithograph exemplifies Appel's focus on human figures and emotions. The print is hand-signed and dated by the artist, further adding to its significance as a limited edition work.

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.
