Description
In the early 1950s, Willem de Kooning’s “Woman I” and subsequent paintings established him as a leading member of the abstract expressionist movement. His wildly impacted brushstrokes and heavily encrusted surfaces baffled most critics, who saw de Kooning’s female image as violent, aggressive, and ultimately the product of a misogynistic mind. In this book, Rosalind E. Krauss counters this view with a radical rethinking of de Kooning’s canvases and reveals his true artistic practices.
