  • Catalogue Essay


    They are not abstractions of the experience of nature; they are abstract in following an uncurbed energy principle without beginning and end, allowing things to emerge, to rise to the surface in analogy to nature. The freer the artist’s use of color and form, the less discernible does the objective other and the expressive “landscape of the soul” or psychogram become.
    (B.M. Bürgi, de Kooning. Painting. 1960-1980, Kunstmusem Basel, Basel 2005, pp. 24)
