William de Kooning
April 24, 1904 - March 19, 1997
Dutch-American painter
The soul of Abstract Expressionism
Wilhelm de Kooning was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and studied at the Rotterdam Academy of Fine Arts. He came to the United States in 1926 and initially made a living by painting houses and commercial designs, and did not engage in professional art until 1936.
De Koonin's exploration of abstract art began in the 1940s, and his art has a wide range of subjects and styles. In the early 1950s, De Kooning completed the creation of the famous series of works on women's themes In the late 1950s, he returned to the creation of the famous series of works on women's themes.
In the late 1950s, he returned to the exploration of abstract composition, showing emotional expression with "loud" colors and rapid brushstrokes.
De Koonin's works are basically based on women and landscapes, using crisscrossing brushstrokes to express distorted characters, full of passion. From the early realistic paintings to the constant changes in the contours and shapes of the body later, making the composition dynamic, this series of transformations formed the basic features of De kooning's abstract style.
He integrated the styles of European Cubism, Surrealism and Expressionism into his large and powerful painting behavior, and melted the ideas of radical art into his own art world. Even extreme paintings have an artistic beauty, trying to awaken a sense of inner connection with all living things in people's hearts.
De Kooning's art is rooted in the exploration of previous generations of artists. He once admired Picasso very much, and after turning to abstract style creation, he gradually got rid of the influence of Cubism, and gradually used rough large brushstrokes and wild and passionate colors to gradually use rough brushstrokes and wild and passionate color blocks to form abstract pictures.
"Spiritually, I always do whatever I want, art never seems to make my heart stop, and some painters, including myself, are reluctant to sit in the style." This is De Kooning's understanding of art and his theoretical guidance.
De Kooning's oil paintings will be bright colors,
Furious brushstrokes,
Rich texture and full of intense emotions
Blended into one,
Has a strong expressionist style.
De Koonin, as one of the important contemporary artists,
The "sensibility" that is possessed within his works,
"Physicalization", "materialization" and "violentness" are several characteristics,
constitutes the contemporaneity of the work,
In the history of fine arts from modernism to postmodernism
Occupies a unique place in the turn,
It has important implications.
De Koonin's work
Gives us the impression of a frenzied brushstroke,
It was as if the painter was not holding a paintbrush
Rather, some kind of sharp weapon sweeps on the canvas with venting.
What it brings to us is one
Momentary stunned
Then came a sense of long-term turmoil.
The cause of this sense of turbulence should be attributed more to the ablation of brushstrokes between dark and bright colors, and the principle of mutual ablation is the physiological cause of vision.
When our viewpoint stays in the dark color, it is as if the bright color is moving, and the bright color is engulfing the dark color. When our viewpoint stays at the bright color, it is as if the dark color is churning and invading the bright color.
From the visual psychological level, the sense of movement produced by this ablation is achieved through brushstrokes. This brushstroke is not through rational design, but a completely sensual release.
De Koonin's painting is a contingency product of hysterical passion, emphasizing the element of painting instinct, which is the presentation of instinct.
De Kooning, Pollock as
The most representative artist of American Abstract Expressionism,
Two styles of abstract painting are shown.
Pollock is known for his "drip method",
De Kooning, on the other hand, is "mixed and merged"
Will Be European "Cubism",
"Surrealism" and "Expressionism"
The style of the blends into their own picture.
As an "abstract expressionist"
One of the soul figures,
De Koonin's art is fully embodied
Characteristic of "Abstract Expressionism"
In addition, his style of painting is distinctive, and he does not abandon the image completely like other "Abstract Expressionist" painters.
Instead, it always maintains the figurativeness of the picture graphics to a certain extent, and even the most abstract pictures are arranged to be exquisite and visually attractive, thus melting the ideas of modernism into their own art world.
De Koonin's work, between figurative and abstract images, gave birth to his special artistic style. This extraction of images and deconstruction and reorganization constitute the formal beauty of painting, but also the emotional experience of life. De Koonin's paintings link sensibility, rationality, subjectivity and objectivity, expressing the emotions of life into the picture.
