Karel Appel. - Frankenstein, Alfred (New York : Harry N. Abrams, 1980)
Karel Appel burst onto the European art scene in 1949 in anexhibition titled Cobra at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. His work had then and has now a daring and vitality that keep it constantly fresh and appealing. Appel was a founder of the Cobra movement - so named because it brought together a group of revolutionary postwar artists from Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam. He has consistently held to a basic idea of the movement - "Painters write, writers paint" - and appearing here for the first time in English translation is a lively autobiographical sketch made up of his poems and journal entries. An extensive interview with the artist by the well-known European art critic Frédéric de Towarnicki is published in full.
