// Sunshine People by Karel Appel, created in 1974, is a vibrant silkscreen print that exudes energy and joy. Known for his association with the CoBrA movement, Appel often used bold colors and playful forms, as seen here in the abstract depiction of a figure. The composition features a creature-like form with bright yellow, green, red, and blue tones against a vivid red background. The figure’s exaggerated eyes and simple shapes evoke a sense of childlike wonder and spontaneity. Appel’s expressive use of color and form reflects his intent to break free from traditional artistic conventions, creating an image full of life and dynamic motion.

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.
