Willem de Kooning (1904–1997) was a Dutch-born painter recognized for his influential role in modern art. After training in Rotterdam, he moved to the United States in 1926 and established himself within New York’s dynamic art scene. De Kooning’s painting evolved from expressive figuration to abstract expressionism, with landmark works such as “Excavation,” “Police Gazette,” and “Woman I” acclaimed internationally for their innovative form, color, and texture. His energetic approach and emphasis on gestural brushwork continue to define his legacy in twentieth-century painting.
