Acrylic on paper mounted on canvas; Signed and dated by artist // Karel Appel’s Walking Alone (1969) is a dynamic acrylic painting that embodies his characteristic abstract expressionist style. The piece features bold, thick black outlines defining a stylized human figure in vibrant hues of blue, red, green, and purple. The figure appears in motion, with exaggerated limbs and a surreal face, creating a sense of both playfulness and emotional depth. Appel’s use of color and form conveys a raw energy, typical of the CoBrA movement with which he was associated. The painting, signed and dated by Appel, reflects his unique approach to abstraction, where the emotional intensity of the subject is expressed through bold, childlike forms and strong colors.

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.
