Abstract
Willem de Kooning's painting Woman exemplifies his dynamic approach within Abstract expressionism. As a prominent Abstract artist, de Kooning's work often features bold, gestural brushstrokes that convey intense emotion and movement. His portrayal of the human figure in Woman explores the tension between abstraction and figuration, highlighting his mastery of form and texture. Born in Rotterdam and later a U.S. citizen, de Kooning's innovative style profoundly influenced modern art, blending visceral expressiveness with sophisticated technique to challenge traditional representations of the human form.
