Original lithograph in colors on paper - Printed by Atelier Dumas, New York - Published by London Arts, Inc., Detroit. // Karel Appel's Two Figures (c. 1980) is a vibrant lithograph that exemplifies the artist’s bold, expressionist style. Known for his involvement in the CoBrA movement, Appel employs vivid, contrasting colors and energetic brushstrokes in this piece, which appears to depict two abstracted human-like figures. The figures are rendered in a swirl of reds, blues, greens, and yellows, with thick black outlines adding structure to the composition. The energetic application of color gives the work a sense of dynamism and movement, while the loose forms suggest an emotional intensity rather than representational accuracy. Printed by Atelier Dumas in New York and published by London Arts, Inc. in Detroit, this limited edition lithograph reflects Appel’s fascination with the raw, primal aspects of art, emphasizing emotion and spontaneity over precision.

What is Gestural?
Artwork by Willem de Kooning

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
