by Willem de Kooning, 1952
Willem de Kooning worked on Woman I from 1950 to 1952, scraping and repainting obsessively. The figure emerges from violent brushwork: huge eyes, bared teeth, enormous breasts. She's both ancient fertility goddess and modern pin-up, terrifying and magnetic.
The painting outraged those who felt Abstract Expressionism had moved beyond representation. De Kooning insisted the figure kept asserting itself. The Woman series consumed him for years. This first painting established the theme: female power that is seductive, monstrous, and indestructible. It hangs in MoMA.
