// Nesting Bird by Karel Appel is a lithograph created in 1978, part of a limited edition series. This print, measuring 54.6 x 73.7 cm, exemplifies Appel's abstract and expressionist style, characteristic of his involvement in the CoBrA movement. The artwork features a dynamic and colorful composition where the form of a bird is rendered with bold, sweeping brushstrokes and vibrant colors such as deep blues, reds, yellows, and purples. The chaotic energy and layered textures evoke movement and spontaneity, bringing the nesting bird to life in an abstract, almost primal manner, typical of Appel’s expressive approach to art.

What is the CoBrA movement?
CoBrA stands for Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam; the group was formed with a desire to break away from the existing art movements of the time. Their critique of Western society led them to experiment and evolve into a significant international movement. CoBrA was founded on November 8, 1948, at the Notre Dame Café in Paris, where its manifesto was signed by Karel Appel, Joseph Noiret, Corneille, Christian Dotremont, Constant, and Asger Jorn. The group was united by a shared commitment to freedom in both form and color, and their work emphasized experimentation and spontaneity.
