You Are There and You Are Not: Karel Appel

Interview with Karel Appel, Dutch painter. Appel has specially selected eight of his paintings for the interview as symbols of beauty and comfort. Appel talks about these eight paintings, his way of working, his studios, mixing different colors of paint, the color red, his birthplace Amsterdam, his youth, wandering the streets in big cities at night, being deeply affected by objects or events, the work of Rembrandt and Van Gogh and the death of his wife. In addition, at Kayzer's request, he reads one of his poems about Amsterdam (from his poetry collection 'Ode aan het rood').
