Willem de Kooning's piece "Woman I" 1950-52


Kooning's painting entitled "Woman I" is a pretty harsh representation of a woman. The woman appears to almost come out of the painting. She is drawn in such a way that makes her appear monstrous and large and as if she were almost snarling at the audience. The colors of the painting are interesting; the spill into the other colors beyond their boundaries. It eliminates composition and arrangement. It takes a sort of misogynistic view of woman.
