The Trip to London

This is a good starting point on my artist research, the all unique in their own way and I could incorporate the texture and look of their work into my own.

Karen Appel

Karel Appel 1921-2006

Born Netherlands, worked France, USA

Questioning Childing 1949

Vragende Kinderen

gouche on wood

Appel appeared the surface of this painting by nailing discarded pieces of wood to an out window shutter. The vibrant colours an droughly painted figures recall the spontanety of childrens art. h was a member of CoBra group, who blamed that such unconventional sources could re-invigorate post-war culture. Appel also used the title questioning children fro a controversial mural condemned as incomprehensive, and covered over with wallpaper. The dutch title also means 'beggin children' and evokes scenes of poverty that Appel had witnessed in post-war Germany.

Sot's Art-Leonid Sokov

 From this artist later on i have looked at Mario Armengol's artwork which is a way of working which I couldn't achieve as there isn't access to the material, but i could use the same way of working but in a different medium.
