During a visit to the Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris, in 1976, Elaine de Kooning (1918-1989, see lot 198 ) saw a 19th century statue of the Roman god of wine, Bacchus, rendered with a twisted, dynamic form. When she returned to Athens, Georgia, where she was teaching at the University of Georgia, she commenced a series of paintings based on the sculpture. It was her first time using acrylic, and over the course of seven years she worked on a series of dozens of Bacchus paintings and captured the excited commotion associated the Roman god through her colorful palette and quintessential gestural brushstrokes.
