// Salto sobre la cabeza by Karel Appel, created in 1988, is an expressive etching and aquatint that captures Appel's bold and gestural approach to abstraction. The piece presents dynamic, loosely defined figures rendered in thick, black lines against a warm, peach-toned background. The forms appear to depict a figure in mid-air, seemingly performing a leap or jump over another figure's head, suggesting movement and energy. Splashes of red and orange add vibrancy and depth, reinforcing the sense of action and spontaneity typical of Appel's style. This limited edition print, measuring 76 cm by 55 cm, reflects Appel's exploration of raw emotion and primal expression, hallmarks of the COBRA movement he helped establish. The work invites viewers to interpret its forms and gestures, evoking themes of freedom, vitality, and playful rebellion.
