Easter Monday

"Easter Monday" is a dynamic painting by Willem de Kooning, a key figure in Abstract expressionism. Known for his energetic brushwork and vibrant colors, de Kooning often blurred the boundaries between abstraction and portrait, creating compelling and expressive images. Although not a traditional portrait, this work showcases his signature style—bold strokes and layered textures that evoke emotional intensity. Born in Rotterdam and later an influential American artist, de Kooning's approach captures the spontaneity and raw emotion characteristic of his contributions to modern art.
