Willem de Kooning painted with kinetic chaos. Think of a "De-Construction" of form – that's his key characteristic! His abstract expressionist style is known for:
- Energetic brushstrokes: Visceral and bold.
- Distorted figures: Often women, fragmented and aggressive.
- Ambiguous space: Blurring figure and ground, creating a sense of depth and shallowness simultaneously.
- Vibrant, clashing colors: Expressing raw emotion.
- "Action painting": A sense of immediacy and the physicality of the artist's process.
So, remember De Kooning as the master of De-Construction, breaking down and rebuilding images with wild abandon.
