Square Man
1951
Karel Appel
1921-04-25 – 2006-05-03
The square man squeezes with difficulty into this square canvas. He seems to squint slightly with his red and green eyes and his blue mouth gapes open. The head is too big, the body is too small, and the arms and legs are too short, yet with his fiercely coloured body and his ponderous genitals, he manages to shock everyone who sees him.
