Catalog (32pgs) published for exhibitions in Fort Lauderdale, Houston and New York. about 9" x 12", rare After Jackson Pollock, de Kooning was the most prominent and celebrated of the Abstract Expressionist painters. His pictures typify the vigorous gestural style of the movement and he, perhaps, did more than any of his contemporaries to develop a radically abstract style of painting that fused Cubism, Surrealism and Expressionism.
