// Red Cat Singing Hands by Karel Appel, a limited edition silkscreen print, is a vibrant and striking example of the artist’s abstract style. Set against a bold red background, the composition features a surreal figure with exaggerated features, blending animalistic and human elements. The central form, outlined in thick black lines, resembles a cat-like face paired with oversized hands and a surrealistic body. The use of contrasting colors—bright whites, blues, oranges, and greens—adds dynamism and depth, while the expressive shapes evoke themes of whimsy and spontaneity. Appel’s work in this piece exudes a playful yet intense energy, underscoring his fascination with primal and fantastical imagery.

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.
