ARBURST_de Kooning Retrospective


Woman, Sag Harbor






































September 18, 2011–January 9, 2012 at MoMa.

We like the process in his work of multiple methods, strategies and reworkings through time and works with different but coherent results along time...

Interesting techniques for us to explore:

  - Pinholes vs smooth/rough surfaces.
  - Drips over painting.
  - Idea of "underdrawing", meaning the rough, ever-evolving sketch or basic idea for the work. Insistence on the process until you get where you want.
  - Related to previous, changing the actual stretched sizeof the painting several times to achieve the desired composition
  - Mixed media: charcoal and paint.

From figurativism to gestural abstractions, from landscape abstractions back to figures and to reductive abstaction again.

Come and go process to evolution through multiple strategies and reworkings
