Sitting Woman - c. 1940
This weekend I'll be going to the MoMA to check out the de Kooning: A Retrospective exhibition which follows Willem de Kooning's works throughout his career and I absolutely can't wait! For those of you who won't make it to New York before January 9, 2012 when the exhibition ends, I chose some of my favorite works from the MoMA site for your viewing pleasure.
The following are various depictions of women by the artist between the 1940's-1960's. I love this sort of exhibit because it allows you to get a full gauge of the individual's evolution as a person and an artist. As de Kooning matures artistically, his art becomes more and more abstract and his use of brush strokes and paint is more expressive. I could go on and on trying to analyze but I'll let you take a look for yourself! And if you want to see more (as there are lot's of great pieces) check out the MoMA exhibition site.
