Jean Dubuffet
French · b. 1901
Dubuffet shared Appel's commitment to raw visceral expression and childlike spontaneity, producing colorful mixed media works and prints with heavy tactile surfaces and dynamic abstract compositions that closely parallel the playful yet aggressive energy of this suite.
Pierre Alechinsky

A core CoBrA member, Alechinsky was a prolific printmaker who worked extensively on Arches paper producing vibrant color prints with expressive gestural marks, bold abstract forms, and the same spontaneous physicality that defines Appel's embossed mixed media suite.
