The Reality of Karel Appel

The reality of the painter Karel Appel is an overcrowded, possessed and frantic world, a barbaric age in which he can only paint as a barbarian - as he says in this film. His paintings are gaudy, his colors vivid, and he slaps them on the canvas as if in a duel, using his brushes, paints, putty-knife and his hands as weapons.
