Through the considered placement of late paintings the exhibition foregrounds visual motifs that recurred throughout de Kooning’s career. This approach reflects Alemani’s close investigation of paintings from the 1980s in which she identified an expansive repertoire of human forms—elbows, knees, mouths, eyes—that can be traced as far back as the artist’s works of the 1930s and 1940s that drew on Cubism and Surrealism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 11.33 x 0.69 x 12.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e144 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47722678780071,"sku":"124676","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/5804\/files\/029d17a0will.jpg?v=1769293659","url":"https:\/\/princetonmuseumstore.org\/products\/willem-de-kooning-endless-painting","provider":"Princeton University Art Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
