Art Appreciation
As a 22 year old, Willem de Kooning emigrated to the United States as a stowaway on a coal ship. De Kooning is best known for his paintings of women. Like other abstract expressionists, De Kooning uses color and the application brushstrokes to express feelings.
He was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 1986 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964.
