In a career spanning seven decades, he explored the interrelation between drawing and painting to express a variety of recurring genres, themes, and motifs. Focusing on de Kooning's drawing practice, this publication emphasizes materials, process, and technique to uncover how the artist achieved his characteristic active line. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBefore moving to New York in the 1920s and joining his contemporaries, including Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, and Robert Motherwell, in the \"New York School\" movement, de Kooning was rigorously trained in draftsmanship at the Academy of Visual Arts and Technical Sciences, Rotterdam, where he achieved mastery of traditional techniques at a young age. \u003ci\u003eWillem de Kooning Drawing\u003c\/i\u003e features nearly 250 works from the early 1920s to the 1980s, revealing the centrality of drawing to all aspects of his practice. Essays by eminent and emerging scholars and curators approach de Kooning's work from a variety of perspectives--from examining his concept of \"the glimpse\" to reinterpreting his representations of women--demonstrating the artist's enduring resonance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Art Institute of Chicago in association with the Rijksmuseum \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Art Institute of Chicago\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(June 14-September 20, 2026) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRijksmuseum, Amsterdam\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(October 9, 2026-January 17, 2027)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKevin Salatino\u003c\/b\u003e is chair and Anne Vogt Fuller and Marion Titus Searle Curator, \u003cb\u003eMel Becker Solomon\u003c\/b\u003e is associate research curator, and \u003cb\u003eCharlotte Healy\u003c\/b\u003e is senior research associate, all in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago. \u003cb\u003eMargaret Holben Ellis\u003c\/b\u003e is exhibition paper conservator for \u003ci\u003eWillem de Kooning Drawing\u003c\/i\u003e at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Eugene Thaw Professor Emerita of Paper Conservation at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.31 x 11.31 x 8.81 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48716846203129,"sku":"9780300288544","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/QcPWUldpPP9780300288544.webp?v=1785075708","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/willem-de-kooning-drawing-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
