Color becomes compositional in this large and vibrant Appel lithograph which flirts with abstraction. Tethered just barely to representation, 'Heads like clouds' brings to mind a folk-art dream world. |

| Descripción Histórica: | |
Appel once wrote, "When I walk down a city street, I see abstract human forms with changing features, almost as if they were shadows of themselves and of their own existence" (Galilée, 31). The artist's view of the world, where nothing holds its shape and where the immaterial blends with the concrete, can be read in Heads like clouds. Two amorphous beings fill nearly the entire image, enveloped by petal-shaped reds, purples, teals and blues. Evoking such large-scale sculptures as La Tulipe (1971), this lithograph can be appreciated as a mature work; its lush hues, mystical undertone, and expressionist style tie it firmly to Appel's oeuvre. Created in 1971, this original color lithograph is hand-signed and -dated by Karel Appel (Amsterdam, 1921 - Zürich, 2006) 'Appel 71' in pencil in the lower right margin. It is numbered 53/100 in pencil in the lower left margin. Another example from this edition is featured in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum.

Karel Appel biografía
Dutch painter, born in Amsterdam. Karel Appel studied at the academy in Amsterdam and had his first show in Groningen, 1946. His early work was influenced by Picasso, Matisse, and Dubuffet. In 1948, with Corneille and Constant, he founded the experimental group and magazine Reflex, which soon thereafter merged with the Cobra movement. It was in Paris, where he had an exhibition in 1949 and took up residence in 1950, that Appel truly mastered his creative powers. He worked freely with color, which he applied in thick blotches as a reaction against the geometric Academicism inherited from neoplasticism, and his subject matter was both broad-ranging and powerful.
A trip to the United States in 1957, where he was introduced to Action Painting, ushered in a new period for Appel, as his work became more dynamic: Two Heads in a Landscape, 1968. He also created polychrome sculptures, stained-glass windows, and mural paintings.
