Untitled (still Life)
1939
A dynamic still life rendered in Willem de Kooning's signature gestural style, this double-sided work on board showcases his mastery of oil and graphite in a bold interplay of line and color. The composition reflects de Kooning's ability to dissolve recognizable forms into energetic, abstract passages while maintaining an underlying tension between figuration and abstraction. The use of both sides of the board offers a rare glimpse into the artist's process, revealing layers of mark-making that blur the boundary between drawing and painting.
