Willem de Kooning paintings

Willem de Kooning's paintings are celebrated for their energetic brushwork, emotional intensity and dynamic compositions. As a leading figure of Abstract Expressionism, de Kooning explored the tension between abstraction and figuration, most notably in his Woman series, which juxtaposes distorted female forms with vivid, gestural colour. His expressive application of paint and layered surfaces reflected his emotional engagement with the act of painting. Continually evolving, de Kooning's later works became more fluid and luminous, revealing a striking balance between control and spontaneity.
