MODERNIST



This painting is titled "Woman III" by Willem de Kooning.
The artist painted a bare woman in almost black and white by very dynamic stroke. The object occupies most of the frame. It looks like pastel and oil painting. It’s difficult to find aloof between her and the background because lines don’t clearly divide each potion of her body. Every size of body is not well balanced. For example, her shoulder is too wide for her size of face. Also, her breast is bigger than her face.

The artist described a beauty of this woman who supposed be in front of him. Blond hair and busty body seemed her typical aspect of beauty for him and his favorite. I predict her skin was so white and smooth so that it could assimilate to the white wall. Strangely, describing this painting and this woman changes I began to thinking her beautiful.
