WILLEM DE KOONING : A Centennial Exhibition
Legend and Fact, 1940
More tempests than Lear and Moby-Dick put together. Hysterical weather reports from some outer galactic fringe, accessible only to Hubble telescopes and art historians - such as John Mekert, who wrote the catalogue for the 1984 retrospective: "The creative force of eros has merged with the flux of a shapeless magma of light and unbound matter drifting towards congealment into form."
