In 1926 22 year - old Dutchman Willem de Kooning (1904 - 1997)
travelled to the USA on a British freighter - without papers and
hidden in the machine room. The young art student eked out a living
by painting houses, signs and facades, before he was able aft er
eight years to dedicate himself entirely to painting. In the United
States he established contacts with the art scene and forged
friendships with artists such as Arshile Gorky, Franz Kline,
Clifford Still, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko. Today De Ko oning
belongs to the outstanding painters of Abstract Expressionism and
together with Jackson Pollock is regarded as a pioneer of Action
Painting. This publication vividly examines De Kooning's life,
marked by self - doubts, successes, new beginnings, excess es, and
scandalous paintings, as well as the evolution of his artistic
work. In addition, author Corinna Thierolf opens up exciting
perspectives on De Kooning's work by revealing entirely new,
surprising relationships with the works of fellow artists such as
Franz Marc, Piet Mondrian, or Wassily Kandinsky.
