Dutch painter, sculptor, and poet Karel Appel was born in Amsterdam on April 25, 1921. He was the son of a barber and, after a disagreement with his father, enrolled at the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten (National Academy of Fine Arts). During World War II, Appel met Corneille while studying there.
Paris
After the war, Karel Appel traveled with Corneille to Liège and later to Paris. In 1947, Appel also met Constant. In 1948, Appel, Corneille, and Constant exhibited at the Santee Landweer art dealership in Amsterdam. In July 1948, Karel Appel was one of the founders of the Dutch Experimental Group, and in November 1948, he was involved in the founding of Cobra.
Cobra
Karel Appel initially became the figurehead of the Cobra movement in the Netherlands and later worldwide. The term "I just mess around" was used negatively by opponents of Appel's expressive style, but it does aptly describe Karel Appel's approach: he seized a subject and, working through it, achieved a result. In the 1940s and 1950s, Karel Appel's work sparked heated debate. His 1949 mural "Questioning Children," painted in the canteen of Amsterdam City Hall, was quickly wallpapered after outraged civil servants were interrupted during lunch.
