{"id":465,"count":5,"description":"De Kooning (1904\u20131997) left Rotterdam for New York in 1926 and came into painting through the trades \u2014 a decorating firm's apprenticeship, years as a house painter. That background never left the surface: paint as a material to be pushed, dragged, wiped off and put back.\r\n\r\nThree bodies of work carry most of the demand, and each asks for a different eye:\r\n\r\n- The Woman paintings, begun around 1950 and fought over for years on the same canvas \u2014 figure and abstraction locked together, mouths and knees painted with the same relish as the background. Look for edges that refuse to close.\r\n- The black-and-white paintings, 1948\u20131950, thinned enamel-black on white, drawing and painting collapsed into one act. Their power is spacing, not detail.\r\n- The late abstractions, made after the move to East Hampton in 1963 \u2014 the landscape broken into wide sliding bands of blue, green, orange. Light doing the work instead of the figure.\r\n\r\nWhat separates a convincing reproduction from a dead one: air between the strokes, a warm muddy middle rather than clean colour, and lines that keep vibrating after the arm has left the canvas.","link":"https:\/\/www.dafennet.com\/es\/famous-artists\/willem-de-kooning\/","name":"Willem de Kooning","slug":"willem-de-kooning","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":164,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dafennet.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dafennet.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dafennet.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dafennet.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/164"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dafennet.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
