Original lithograph in colors on paper - Printed by Atelier Dumas, New York - Published by London Arts, Inc., Detroit. // Karel Appel's Two Figures (c. 1980) is a vibrant lithograph that exemplifies the artist’s bold, expressionist style. Known for his involvement in the CoBrA movement, Appel employs vivid, contrasting colors and energetic brushstrokes in this piece, which appears to depict two abstracted human-like figures. The figures are rendered in a swirl of reds, blues, greens, and yellows, with thick black outlines adding structure to the composition. The energetic application of color gives the work a sense of dynamism and movement, while the loose forms suggest an emotional intensity rather than representational accuracy. Printed by Atelier Dumas in New York and published by London Arts, Inc. in Detroit, this limited edition lithograph reflects Appel’s fascination with the raw, primal aspects of art, emphasizing emotion and spontaneity over precision.

What is Art Brut?
Art Brut, a French term meaning Raw Art, was coined by Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the conventional fine arts tradition. Dubuffet used the term to refer to works made by self-taught artists, including the mentally ill, prisoners, and others on the margins of society. He also called it Outsider Art. This art is characterized by its raw, unrefined nature, often created without concern for traditional presentation or imitation.
