Lithograph in colors on Japan paper - Published by London Arts Inc. Detroit - Suite: Cats Portfolio

Pink Cat by Karel Appel, created in 1979, is a vivid lithograph that is part of the Cats Portfolio. The limited edition print, rendered on Japan paper, features Appel’s characteristic use of bold, gestural strokes and a dynamic color palette. The cat is depicted with expressive brushwork in shades of pink, turquoise, yellow, and red, set against a deep black background. The abstract and fragmented appearance of the feline figure exudes energy and spontaneity, capturing the essence of Appel’s CoBrA movement roots. The intense contrasts between the bright hues and the dark backdrop enhance the visual impact, making the cat's features pop, while the chaotic arrangement of strokes suggests movement and playfulness. Published by London Arts Inc., this work exemplifies Appel’s fascination with expressive forms and vibrant, childlike imagery, inviting viewers to explore the emotional and imaginative qualities within his abstraction.
