About
The early development of Willem de Kooning is explored here through a focus on his early drawings, many of which have never before been published, most of which have not been on public view in decades. An accompanying text and chronology provide insight into the thoughts of de Kooning and the exhibitions and artists that might have influenced him during the 1930s-1950s.
