Willem de Kooning (1904–97) was a Dutch-American artist and leading figure of Abstract Expressionism. He got his start early, taking night classes at the Academy of Visual Arts in Rotterdam from the age of 12, and also working during that time as an apprentice for a commercial art and decorating firm.

Then, in 1953, approximately 20 of de Kooning’s paintings, pastels, and drawings of women were shown at the Sidney Janis Gallery in the exhibition Willem de Kooning: Paintings on the Theme of the Woman. The works integrated figuration with abstraction, and when The Museum of Modern Art acquired Woman I (1950–52), its collection committee stated, “The Committee found the picture quite frightening, but felt that it had intense vitality and liked the quality of the color.” In the latter half of the 1950s, de Kooning created abstract urban landscapes, parkways,
