APPEL, Karel, (Dutch, 1921-2006): ''Les Amoureaux'', Lithograph, 20'' x 24'', pencil signed lower right, numbered 59/150 lower left, wood frame, 26.75'' x 32.75''. Appel helped to pioneer an unrestrained physical style of painting that expresses a more primal style and is associated with Abstract Minimalism. His style was influenced by Picasso and then by Dubuffet. He squeezes the colors right out of the tube, and smears it with his fingers, a knife or a brush.
CONDITION: Float mounted, tack holes in upper corners, scattered dirt smudges, pale staining throughout, scattered handling creases, not examined out of frame, sold as is.
