Homo ludens - Karel Appel
The Dutch artist Karel Appel (1921 2006) was in 1948 one of the cofounders of the Dutch Experimental Group (Reflex), together with Corneille and Constant. In this avant-garde movement, anticipating CoBrA, they connected with each other because of their aversion of artistic intellectualism and esthetic academism. Their main sources of inspiration were: primitive art, childs drawings and outsider art, which they considered pure and unspoiled, resulting in an artform that was spontaneous, experimental and vivacious.
The Dutch department store De Bijenkorf agreed with the general ideas that the Experimental Group proclaimed. At the moment of the their foundation they got the opportunity to exhibit in the furniture department and in 1949 Appel even made a series of oil paintings commissioned by the department store itself. This painting Kinderschilderij (1949) is part of that series.
The artist expresses his indignation about his time and his environment on canvas in bright colors and childlike forms. Appel and his friends always considered themselves as homo ludens (Johan Huizinga), the playing man, as opposed to the homo faber, the working man. The idea that Appel just did something is however simplistic and incomplete. His art was much more than that. With the war still in mind, the artist himself said: I paint as a barbarian, in these barbaric times. With his spontaneous working method, Appel aimed for an art for everyone, ingenuous and authentic.
