Appel's Questioning Children



 A mural and some related paintings and studies from Karel Appel, made in 1948 & 49.  The mural was done for the Amsterdam City Hall, in the cafeteria, and it was covered for many years because the eaters found it too disturbing. Though in a very geometrically stylized vocabulary, it depicts starving children begging for food.
