Characterized by lyrical brushwork and biomorphic abstractions, these works marked the artist’s shift from a figurative drawing style, largely influenced by Arshile Gorky and other European artists, to the evolving gestural tradition of the New York School. Having eliminated color from his palette at that moment, de Kooning became more spontaneous with his application of paint, pushing his compositions to the edge of the paper. The resulting works embodied the physical act of painting, a defining characteristic of what would later become termed “action painting.” (Art Institute of Chicago)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"deflist o-blocks__block \" id=\"dl-artwork-details\" style=\"\"\u003e\u003cdt style=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093764952223,"sku":"20934","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Kooning_Willem_de_Painting_Signed_Postcard_20934b.jpg?v=1722190192","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/20934-kooning-willem-de-painting-1948-signed-postcard-with-heart-drawings","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
