Review
"If you pick up some paint with your brush and make somebody's nose with it, this is rather ridiculous.... It's really absurd to make an image, like a human image, with paint, today." - Willem de Kooning"

4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice introduction,
By Unutterable (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Willem de Kooning 1904-1997: Content as a Glimpse (Basic Art) (Paperback)
While this might not be the De Kooning book for someone who wants an indepth view of the artist and his work, it's a nice introduction at an affordable price. The text reads like an encyclopedia entry (you won't find any major revelations but it covers all the bases), and there are plenty of good color reproductions encompassing De Kooning's entire career.
5.0 out of 5 stars
even my son-in-law was fascinated by this book.,

This review is from: Willem de Kooning 1904-1997: Content as a Glimpse (Basic Art) (Paperback)
De Kooning was a personal friend growing up and I enjoyed this biography as did my non-art background son-in-law at thanksgiving.
