'Order to me is to be ordered about', Willem de Kooning said.
Between Sense and de Kooning is an exploration of how de Kooning
both worked and thought concerning art, while respecting the
artist's own ambiguities and his reluctance to embrace categorical
distinctions between representation and abstraction. Richard Shiff
acknowledges de Kooning's idea that art is not about concepts like
progress or development, but is instead a sensory phenomenon. The
word Sense in this book's title carries a dual meaning - it is used
here as both a sensation or feeling and as reason or direction.
Employing both definitions, Shiff addresses the difficulty in
interpreting de Kooning's work that has complicated its critical
reception in the art and scholarly world. With detailed analysis of
specific works from throughout de Kooning's career, many of which
have never been published or studied before, Shiff discusses de
Kooning's use of materials and his technical experimentation. He
looks at the artist's painting processes, highlighting his tendency
to transfer images, and even paint itself, from one work to
another, and considers his creation of an exotica of the mundane.
Between Sense and de Kooning provides a much-needed analysis and
appreciation of de Kooning's complete oeuvre and will appeal not
only to art historians but to anyone curious to understand how such
an independent and daring artist gained lasting recognition as one
of the key figures of twentieth-century art.
