Woman I
De Kooning's violent figuration merges representation and abstraction in aggressive brushwork. The monstrous female form explores desire, fear, sexuality, and the unconscious. The work combines beauty and horror, creation and destruction. De Kooning's technique expresses psychological complexity and painterly freedom. The series challenged both figuration and pure abstraction.
