Karel Appel, (1921 - 2006) was a Dutch painter and sculptor from the second half of the twentieth century, who can be considered an expressionist. He made his breakthrough with his membership of the Cobra group.
This screen print on 100% silk by Karel Appel entitled 'Le Monster' dates from 1968.
In bright colours Appel has depicted a figure in an abstract manner, in brilliant colours. Signed and dated lower right 'Appel 1968'
From 1958 to 1999, the Boekelo-based company Texoprint regularly invited mostly Dutch artists to design promotional gifts for limited editions.
Various Cobra artists created a colorful design for these screen-printed scarves.
For artists such as Appel, Lucebert and Wolvekamp, the designs for Texoprint represented rare excursions into the world of textile design.
This silkscreen print was added to the collection of the Textile Museum in Tilburg in 2014.
The work is very rarely offered!
