"Gotham" is the New York–equivalent setting of the Batman comics, and "News" undoubtedly refers to the newsprint seen on the lower left and top center of the canvas. And, for many, this city is a mixture of both these circles of sentiment. Lee Krasner’s Untitled (1949) shows that she applied thick paint sometimes directly from the tube in rhythmic and repetitive strokes, giving equal. "Gotham News" is in some ways an expression of life in New York, where de Kooning was living at the time: crowded, confusing, and violent to some people, while exciting, colorful, and energetic to others. For Painting (1948), Willem de Kooning used oil and enamel sign paint to create a densely packed painting in which the paint drips, bleeds, congeals, or dissolves into delicate streaks. Born on April 24, 1904, in Rotterdam, de Kooning would become recognized as a leader of the New York school by the 1950s.
Occasionally the newsprint would transfer to the work’s surface when this happened, he either painted over it or decided he liked the effect and left it. Willem de Kooning is a pioneering figure of Abstract Expressionism and one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Since wet paint is much easier to manipulate, de Kooning often covered the surface at night with newspaper to slow down the drying process. The next day he often reworked what he had previously done. Although he did create his images spontaneously, without preparatory drawings, he placed each mark with careful consideration.
While Willem de Kooning's paintings often look as though the artist worked very quickly, the opposite is in fact true.
