	Willem de Kooning, What Do His Paintings Mean?

		These men and women, precursors of the famous women of the early 50's, while carefully drawn and painted, are as fragmented in their way as any of the artist's later work, with some parts of the figures delineated with an unnatural, surrealist clarity, while others dissolve into the background.
		Their closely-related values and color combinations -- greyed brown, pink, orange and green -- speak of a sensibility far removed from the raw light and vivid contrasts of the real world into a hazy, dankly-lit subterranean realm of the psyche.
