Great show at the MoMa, really impressive to see in a room close to 500 million or so and be allowed to be close looking at them... I call this the sumumn of civilization. Great moment it was a vital exposition for any artist.

Every artist has had a dud. What's good about abstract art you just can paint over it when it's dry.

I tried the news paper thing on oil. Well.....it ws a disaster. Why? Patience . You have to let the paint literaly dry then peel the news paper off a week later, minimum. De Kooning ......Did he ever do a dud? I doubt it.

There IS a part III. AND a part IV. I'm in heaven. Thank you so so much. Stuck in LA listening to the ads for this on NPR - jealous! Thanks for taking me, James. Better now.

James as always; your efforts are greatly appreciated - "I" personally don't connect w/ de Kooning's work - the big thing I feel about his work, is that he seems forever in search of his identity, as he samples different genres - never the less much thanx for your time and consideration

Your 3 parts on de Kooning at MoMA have each hit the jackpot. This is like an informed grad course in Ab Ex painting -- invaluable. Cool comment about the newsprint transferring to the paint beneath by solvents on top as opposed to the actual newsprint collage idea underneath suggested by Valery Oisteanu, Surrealist & Dada historian.
