(kä´r l äp´ l) (KEY) , 1921–, Dutch painter. A member of CoBrA, the European group allied with abstract expressionism, Appel reacted against the austerity of earlier Dutch abstraction. Characterized by informal brush work, bright, bold color, and a slashing line, Appel’s paintings often possess a childlike quality. Examples of his work are in the Boymans-Van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam.
