ABOUT THE WORK

Pirate by Willem de Kooning was created in 1981 and is in Museum of Modern Art New York. The size of the work is 223,4 x 194,4 cm and is made of oil on canvas. De Kooning’s mental and physical health was precarious from the late 1970s through the 1980s. Years of alcoholism were exacting their toll and, though he gave up drinking in 1981, he soon developed Alzheimer’s disease. By 1990, he stopped painting. Despite these challenges, he had fertile periods of productivity and stylistic reinvention. Breaking from his labored technique and from compositions characterized by density, he loosened and quickened his approach. This resulted in paintings like Pirate (Untitled II). Its free-flowing ribbons of color curving across patches of glowing white, yellow, pink, and green foreground de Kooning’s virtuosic hand. He used a taper’s knife (a flat-bladed tool used in drywall construction) to pull the paint into thick bands. This work was likely painted on top of an earlier discarded painting, whose original composition was sanded down to a ghost of itself. Bright and fresh, Pirate (Untitled II) belies the difficulty of the artist’s later years. The Artist: Willem de Kooning (1904 – 1997) was a Dutch-American abstract expressionist artist. He was born in Rotterdam and moved to the United States in 1926, becoming an American citizen in 1962. De Kooning's paintings of the 1930s and early 1940s are abstract still-lifes characterised by geometric or biomorphic shapes and strong colours.
