Elaine de Kooning portraits show at New York gallery
A collection of paintings by Elaine de Kooning is currently on display at the Berry Campbell gallery in New York.
Artist background and legacy
Elaine de Kooning was a central figure in mid-century art who worked alongside her husband Willem. She balanced portraiture with abstract expressionism while founding the artist collective The Club in Greenwich Village. Her work often featured expressive brushwork and vivid colors that framed various subjects.
Exhibition highlights and subjects
The current show includes portraits of President John F. Kennedy, Toni Ross, Thomas Hess, and Alex Katz. Several images feature starry figures, including a young boy in a cowboy hat named Jemp. This boy is the nephew of the artist and serves as the reason for the exhibition.
