Karel Appel was born in 1921 in Amsterdam. He studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten there from 1940 to 1943 and started exhibiting in 1946. He was influenced by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Jean Dubuffet; he joined the Nederlandse Experimentele Groep and joined CoBrA (European group allied with abstract expressionismin) in 1948 together with Corneille, Constant and Jan Nieuwenhuys.
Appel's work is characterized by informal brush work, bright, bold color, and a slashing line. His paintings often possess a childlike quality. His 1949 fresco in the Amsterdam City Hall caused controversy and was covered up for ten years. In 1950 he moved to Paris and then developed his international reputation travelling to Mexico, the USA, Yugoslavia and Brazil. He is particularly noted for his mural work and lived between New York and Florence. Appel died in 2006.
