| Description: | Select Guide Rating The best-selling and critically acclaimed monograph on one of the most influential painters of the twentieth century The best-selling and critically acclaimed monograph on one of the most influential painters of the twentieth century Willem de Kooning was a leading exponent of Abstract Expressionism. MoMA''s 2011 de Kooning retrospective drew record crowds, and his prodigious achievements continue to provoke and inspire subsequent generations of artists such as Cecily Brown, Rebecca Warren, and Jonathan Lasker. This is the most wide-ranging and comprehensive monograph available on this artist. Sumptuously illustrated and produced, the book encompasses his major works and periods, including his controversial ''Woman'' paintings, as well as a wealth of accompanying sketches and preparatory drawings. An illustrated chronology maps de Kooning''s life, career, and work, with photographs from the artist''s archive interspersed throughout the book, enriching the reader''s understanding of the wider art-historical context of his paintings. Judith Zilczer''s critically acclaimed monograph is an essential addition to the libraries of a new audience of readers and de Kooning enthusiasts, offering an unprecedented and compelling examination of his body of work. |
