The present lot was made for the room of the children of Ed van der Elsken and Ata Kando in their house on the Achtergracht, Amsterdam.
'When I started, I used to look at children's drawings. They gave me the impetus I needed to free myself from the things I'd learnt during my classical education ... The child in man is all that's strongest, most receptive, most open and unpredictable. "Adult" means "controlled". A child lives spontaneously; he's not aware of his talent; he looks at everything as though he were seeing it for the first time.'
(quoted by A. Verdet in Karel Appel: Paintings 1980-85, exh.cat., Bristol, Arnolfini, 1986, pp.18-19)
