Private collection, Denmark. Filtered through his eye and memory, de Kooning's visions of life clearly reflect the physicality and human scale of the artist himself, immersed in this shifting landscape of light and fluidity as if caught reflected on the surface of the sea. "Whatever I see becomes my shapes and my condition," de Kooning said, reflecting on how his gestural painterly responses translated his perception into almost visceral expressions and rhythms on a human scale (W. de Kooning, quoted in D. Waldman, Willem de Kooning, New York, 1988, p.1). It is for this reason that de Kooning can never be considered a purely abstract painter: the forms and shapes of his paintings-- manifestations of the motion of his own body-- always articulate hints or glimpses of the physical structure and material core of the natural world.
