This work is registered in the Archive of the Karel Appel Foundation.

Painted in 1963, Karel Appel's Phyllis, with her distorted proportions and antagonistic stance, creates a dialogue with Willem de Kooning's seminal series of Women.
Phyllis is painted with an abundance of explosive energy, applying a bursting palette of violent colours. His expressive brushstroke blurs the distinction between fore-and background, merging figure and landscape.
Appel's unique vision is apparent in his treatment of emotion over representation. One of the premiere artists in the CoBrA movement, Appel sought to evoke the primal essence of his subject. De Kooning and Appel shared many motivations and Phyllis is a prime example of their collective ambition.
