Etching with embossing - Circus suite #14 // Sun of the Incas by Karel Appel, a limited edition etching with embossing, draws viewers into a vibrant and primal realm. The composition showcases bold, abstract forms in intense colors. The central figures, stylized and simplified, appear surrounded by radiant, sun-like patterns, suggestive of ancient Incan symbolism. The work uses striking shades of blue, orange, and yellow against a dark background to create contrast and depth, infusing the image with energy and mysticism. Appel’s distinctive style blends childlike spontaneity with powerful symbolism, evoking a sense of ritual and myth.

What is the CoBrA movement?
CoBrA stands for Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam; the group was formed with a desire to break away from the existing art movements of the time. Their critique of Western society led them to experiment and evolve into a significant international movement. CoBrA was founded on November 8, 1948, at the Notre Dame Café in Paris, where its manifesto was signed by Karel Appel, Joseph Noiret, Corneille, Christian Dotremont, Constant, and Asger Jorn. The group was united by a shared commitment to freedom in both form and color, and their work emphasized experimentation and spontaneity.
