		Willem de Kooning was born in 1904 in the Netherlands.

		Willem de Kooning had declined a solo show at The Museum of Modern Art in 1958, but a decade later agreed to have a retrospective exhibit that opened at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, which then traveled to the Tate Gallery in London and then to the Museum of Modern Art.

	ART OF THE 70'S: de Kooning
		Willem de Kooning is one of the most well-known and respected artists of the twentieth century.
		De Kooning is perhaps best-known for his series of "women" paintings.
		What keeps process within bounds, keeps de Kooning's women from being mere painterly gush, is the memory of and the struggle with Cubism: the picture plane asserts itself in the most unexpected places and the painterly daring is always disciplined by the artist's struggle simultaneously to create and destroy the order of the Cubist grid.

	Hackett-Freedman: Willem de Kooning
		De Kooning's paintings are lauded for the equal emphasis given to technique and image; his celebrated, calligraphic line enabled him to balance the representative and the abstract within each work, with each element competing for dominance.
		De Kooning's subsequent paintings of women executed in the 1950s and sixties stand as one of the most significant bodies of work of the last century.
		De Kooning's work is included in most major museums worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City; the Tehran Museum of Art; the Stedelijk Museum in his native Holland; and the Hirshhorn Museum.

	Willem De Kooning: Tracing the Figure - a Review by Donald Goddard - New York Art World
		They exist in a place that doesn't exist except for the picture, a "no-environment," as de Kooning might call it later, but in fact there are always references to elements of a real and specific space that is different from the figure, though it is impossible to detach them one from another.
		De Kooning was, in a sense, rescuing the force and freedom of modern painting, partly from the presumed certainties of Mondrian and Constructivism and partly from the depredations of authoritarian government and world war.
		De Kooning, on the other hand, confronts an absolutely incongruous world in which wholeness resides, and this itself is uncertain, only in the vision of the artist.

	Kunstforum Presents Willem de Kooning \| Art Knowledge News
		Willem de Kooning's multifaceted painting shifts constantly between the poles of figuration – as in the well-known Women pictures – and the abstract gesture, which is strongly linked to action painters like Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline.
		A key focus will be on de Kooning's Women pictures of the 1950s and the block of monumental abstracts of around 1960, explosive gestures most representative of action painting – slashes of the painter's brush.
		In 1979, de Kooning and Eduardo Chillida received the Andrew W. Mellon Prize, which was accompanied by an exhibition at the Museum of Art, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh.

	Willem de Kooning - Asheville
		Asheville is an important example of de Kooning's intricate experiments in "collage painting" of the late 1940s in which he used collage procedures, combining different materials such as torn paper and drawings to create illusions that might be used as a source for visual ideas.
		At the time de Kooning painted Asheville, the abstract expressionists struggled to come to terms with a multiplicity of ideas: the emotional legacy of World War II, the heritage of modernism, and the array of influences available to them in New York.
		De Kooning responded to this flux of ideas and experiences with an extraordinary degree of self-conscious control.

		Willem de Kooning was always drawing, never making a drawing - "finish" and "closure" were not part of his vocabulary.
		De Kooning was not averse to tearing up a drawing and recombining some of its sections with those of other torn-up drawings.
		Many of these tracings were made on both sides of the vellum so that de Kooning also might be able to revive their mirror image.

	Artists Past & Present: Willem de Kooning
		One of the most prolific and dynamic painters to emerge from the 1940s New York City art scene, Willem de Kooning was born in the Netherlands in 1904 and emigrated to the U.S. in 1926.
		While de Kooning was not an Abstract Expressionist in the strictest sense, some of his mature paintings like Excavation, made in 1950, share many of the movement’s traits, including aggressive brushwork and abstract imagery.
		These paintings were not only shocking for their perceived hostility towards women, which is subject to debate, but also because de Kooning focused on the human figure at a time when art world dogma praised abstraction almost exclusively.
