Walking Cat

Karel Appel's Frightened Cat 1979 lithograph featuring bold, colorful brushstrokes forming an abstract representation of a cat against a neutral background, full of dynamic energy.

Lithograph in colors on Japan paper - Published by London Arts Inc. Detroit - Suite: Cats Portfolio // Frightened Cat by Karel Appel, created in 1979, is a vibrant lithograph from the Cats Portfolio, exemplifying the artist’s dynamic and expressive style. This limited edition print, produced on Japan paper, features bold and energetic brushstrokes in vivid colors like turquoise, purple, red, and black, forming an abstract depiction of a cat. The chaotic arrangement of the strokes, contrasted against a neutral background, suggests the tension and movement of the animal, as if caught in a moment of surprise or fear. Appel’s use of thick, gestural marks and bright, contrasting colors embodies the spontaneous and emotive approach characteristic of the CoBrA movement, of which he was a prominent member. The print, published by London Arts Inc., captures Appel’s fascination with animal forms and raw emotion, inviting viewers to interpret and engage with the dynamic energy of his work.

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
