Original Painted Wood -Hand Signed and Dated by Appel // Karel Appel's Flower with Blue Eyes (1977) is a playful and vibrant painted wood sculpture that showcases his signature abstract expressionist style. This piece, hand-signed and dated by Appel, features exaggerated shapes and bold, lively colors, including rich blues, greens, reds, and yellows. The composition, which appears to be a fusion of floral and anthropomorphic forms, includes a prominent flower-like shape with large blue eyes, giving it a whimsical and surreal quality. Appel's use of thick, irregularly cut wood pieces layered together creates depth and texture, enhancing the sculpture’s energetic and spontaneous feel. This work exemplifies Appel's fascination with color and form, transforming simple shapes into an exuberant, dynamic composition.

What is Art Brut?
Art Brut, a French term meaning Raw Art, was coined by Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the conventional fine arts tradition. Dubuffet used the term to refer to works made by self-taught artists, including the mentally ill, prisoners, and others on the margins of society. He also called it Outsider Art. This art is characterized by its raw, unrefined nature, often created without concern for traditional presentation or imitation.
