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. Of all the painters in that group, he worked the longest and was the most prolific, creating powerful, startling images well into the 1980s.The first major biography of de Kooning captures both the life and work of this complex, romantic figure in American culture. In the thirties and forties, along with Arshile Gorky and Jackson Pollock, he became a key figure in the revolutionary American movement of abstract expressionism.
The young de Kooning overcame an unstable, impoverished, and often violent early family life to enter the Academie in Rotterdam, Ten years in the making, and based on previously unseen letters and documents as well as on hundreds of interviews, this is a fresh, richly detailed, and masterful portrait.
