Details: Willem de Kooning is often described as a forefather of Abstract Expressionism, a term first applied to the new forms of abstract art which emerged in New York in the 1940s and early 1950s. …Whose Name Was Writ in Water demonstrates de Kooning’s interest at this time in water and the natural world. The swift, slippery strokes imply a sense of impermanence in the natural world.
