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 abstract expressionism?
Artwork by Helen Frankenthaler

What is abstract expressionism?

Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
