More information

In 1926, de Kooning immigrated to the United States, where he achieved fame as one of the pioneers of Abstract Expressionism. Around 1950 he reintroduced figurative elements into his paintings, executed in his characteristically violent but virtuoso style: landscapes and challenging, monumental female nudes. Sometimes the two motifs fuse. After all, landscapes can have a corporeal quality, as in this impression of the cliffs lining the Hudson River, west of Manhattan.
