	Art in America: Willem de Kooning at Gagosian, Mitchell-Innes & Nash, and Richard Gray
		Sometimes, as in several paintings from 1986 and '87, the light is suffused with a saffron glow from the yellow in de Kooning's late primary color schemes.
		If, as Richard Schiff suggests in his typically enlightening catalogue essay, virtually all de Kooning's paintings push themselves into the topography of the body, then the late work clarifies the blubbery splatter of his '70s imagery into architecturally serene banners of color whose chromatic borders act like window mullions through which white light spills.
		These painting have always been among my own favorite bodies of work, for the straight-line velocity of his wet brushstrokes, the deep sky color of Suburb in Havana (1958), and the debut of the wider fluid planes of color that he was to mash, twist and unfurl during the rest of his career.

		Baroda was a former Indian state in western India, 8176 square miles; it had four divisions, three in Gujarat (Kadim, Baroda, and Navsari) and one in the Peninsula of Kathiawar (Amreli, with Okhamandal).
