About II 1977 Willem de Kooning Abstract Expressionist Painting
A triumphal painting from one of the artist’s most distinguished series, Willem de Kooning’s Untitled II demonstrates his unrivalled ability to harness the expressive power of paint. By 1955, the artist had abandoned his manic paintings of the female form and, in 1963 he permanently escaped the urban claustrophobia of New York by moving to his new home on Long Island. Here, de Kooning’s canvases began to open up, eschewing his earlier frenzied depictions of women in favor of a more pastoral aesthetic, influenced by his new surrounds. Figures and landscapes become one as images and their reflections merge into a seemingly effortless rush of painterly gestures, replacing the tortured surfaces of his earlier paintings which had established de Kooning as the quintessential action painter. Widely exhibited since it was painted in 1977, Untitled II belongs to one of the artist’s best known and most admired series of paintings.
