Willem de Kooning

With

1980

"With" is a vibrant, gestural abstract painting by Willem de Kooning, executed in oil and newsprint collaged onto canvas. The work exemplifies de Kooning's signature Abstract Expressionist style, with bold, sweeping brushstrokes in a dynamic interplay of colors that convey raw energy and spontaneous movement. The incorporation of newsprint fragments adds a tactile, layered quality to the composition, blurring the boundaries between painting and collage.
