The Artist

Karel Appel

Cobra was a Dutch experimental art group that attracted avant-garde creatives who wanted to get in touch with the artistic potential that exists in the freedom of expression. Karel Appel was one of Cobra’s founding members and much of his work is considered iconic of that movement. The group’s work was not popular in the Netherlands and it is partly because of this that Appel moved to Paris with his colleagues. He would later travel extensively and gain international recognition in Brazil, Mexico, Italy and the USA.
