Willem de Kooning — Two Figures
Willem de Kooning

Two Figures

Two Figures is a dynamic offset lithograph by the celebrated Abstract Expressionist Willem de Kooning, printed on wove paper with full margins. The work exemplifies de Kooning's signature gestural approach, with bold, energetic lines and forms that suggest two figures emerging from and dissolving back into a frenzy of mark-making. The full margins of the wove paper lend the composition an elegant sense of containment, allowing de Kooning's characteristically raw and spontaneous imagery to command the viewer's full attention.
