  Willem de Kooning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Willem de Kooning (April 24, 1904 – March 19, 1997) was an abstract expressionist painter, born in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Still others who knew de Kooning personally claim that his late paintings were being taken away and sold before he was able to finish them.
Willem de Kooning has served as inspiration for the Welsh band Manic Street Preachers for three songs: Interiors (Song for Willem de Kooning), "His Last Painting" (about his battle with Alzheimer's), and the song "Door to the River" (named after the painting).

 Lyn Ott as My Teacher
Around 1956 Lyn sees a painting by Willem DeKooning in which he finds a communion of the painter and painting that transcend into something greater.
Certainly DeKooning pushes the thresholds of art to their fullest extreme, and DeKooning uses the technology and skill of a master artist to produce images that are nearly completely void of any recognizable form, and yet they still look artistic.
The difference is that Lyn’s painting leaves evidence of a glimpse of the Eternal Nature of the One instead of raw deconstructive artistic expression inspired by the glimpse of the One.

Willem DeKooning was born in Rotterdam, Holland in 1904.
DeKooning moved to New York where he became friends with such well-established Abstract artists; Arshile Gorky, David Smith, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko.
What distinguishes DeKooning from other Abstract Expressionist artists is that unlike his contemporaries he never completely eliminated the figure from his paintings.

Willem de Kooning is one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, a true “painter’s painter” whose protean work continues to inspire many artists.

This superb biography of Willem de Kooning can be separated into several major themes.

 Willem de Kooning - AMAM
In depicting one figure frontally and the other from the rear, the Oberlin work is "anatomically" closer to the large, initial drawing of two women of 1950 than most of the other standing woman images of 1952, in which both figures are frontal or are given ambiguous cues of orientation.
Born in Rotterdam in 1902, Willem de Kooning studied at the city's Academie van Beelende Kunsten from 1916 to 1924, while working for a commercial art firm.

1904-1997 - Willem DeKooning was an abstract expressionist painter born in Rotterdam in the Nethelands in 1904.
DeKooning originally supported himself as a mural painter, and a house painter (pursuing his own art in the evenings) until he met his friends and mentors Arshile Gorky, and John Graham.
His first gallery exhibition was in 1942 at 38 years old, and his first one person show was not until 1948.

Although Willem DeKooning was born in Hollond in 1904, he moved to the United States in the 1920s and became a key player in the New York school of art in the 1950s and a pioneer in Abstract Expressionism.
By blending traditional forms with a sense of ambiguity, he moved beyond the constraints of art history and opened the door for new methods of expression.
As Willem DeKooning explained, "Ambiguity prevails in an art and in an age where nothing is certain but self-consciousness."

Gossipier than any tabloid, as scholarly as Vasari, luminously illustrated and illuminating as a lightning bolt, Stevens' and Swan's landmark biography is one of the most stunning art books I've seen in seven years of Amazon.com reviewing--a masterpiece that explains how the Dutchman de Kooning became the master painter of the American century.
I think the motives of DeKooning as a man and artist were never very clear in his life; the writers of this book do a marvelous job of keeping their heads above water when showing the incredibly large contradictions of DeKooning.
The brilliance of Dekooning was his sense of something beyond definition- explaining that there is an unexplainable in life.

The excitement over the breakthroughs of the representational barrier in the works emanating from the studios of Jackson Pollock, Willem deKooning and Franz Kline energized artists everywhere, but particularly those who were living and working in New York at that time.
Somebody once said to deKooning “It is impossible to paint a face” and he is said to have replied “That’s right.
He “finds his point of departure in the experience of nature, and from there, proceeds to abstraction.” Hess goes on to tell of Tworkov’s birth in Poland, his arrival in America in 1913, and his schooling, which took him through high school in New York and a brief attendance at Columbia University.

Even as he was painting the abstractions, deKooning returned to the figure.

I cannot understand the work of DeKooning (who inspired Lyn) enough to imitate him, nor can I bring myself to paint without the use of my eyes as an excercise to find some essence of my faith in a pure form.
Part of the solution is to paint the face of Meher Baba with sand (some of which is gathered from the beach on the Meher Center) and limiting recognizable intentional form to the eyes, nose and mustache.

I can think of no finer example of the irrelevance of pedigree and artist's statements than DeKooning's late work.
I liked much of his early work, but late in life, at which point by all accounts he had deteriorated into a shuffling muttering puddle of senility, the tangled gobby marshes gave way to such clear soaring gorgeousness, so simple, so stunning.
