“Don’t even bring up most paintings by William DeKooning.”
A notorious woman-hater, I do know that about him. (Not a fan of his either.) But wasn’t he a left in good standing? That might protect his work for a little while. Just a little.
Much of DeKooning’s work featured portraits of women in the Abstract Expressionist style. Personally, I didn’t like most of what I saw; a very raw, very violent interpretation of what Women brought to his mind.
I’m fine with most abstract art per se, as with Picasso and Braque, but there was something about DeKoonings work that I preferred to stay away from. To each his own. His career was long, as he remained active after the onset of his dementia.
