Willem de Kooning: A Retrospective at MoMA Part I

Рет қаралды 106,032

Күн бұрын

James Kalm has on occasions presented what he feels are "historical" exhibitions. But nothing could fit that category more precisely than "Willem de Kooming a Retrospective at MoMA". Billed as the most complete survey of this heroic artist's career ever presented, this exhibition is a once in a life time chance to see its full breadth. Part one features pieces from de Kooning's student years to 1950, what is considered his "break through year". Organized by John Elderfield, Chief Curator Emeritus of Painting and Sculpture.

Great to start it off and end it with John Coltrane's "My One and Only Love" by those street performers.

Thanks James for the video, i was lucky .... I was in New York last week and saw the show, took my time 1.5 hours there, I saw his 1960/75 paintings the Gotham News abstracts, quite incredible and the sculptures too. A must see show a true visual understanding afterwards. Thanks

Its a wonderfull video - and so good that you share it and make it possible to see, when it is not possible to be there in the moment of the show. De Kooning is a wonderfull artist - and this ads to my knowledge of what he has done

Your de Kooning Part 1 MoMA video 2011 so totally nailed this with a wide array of early de Kooning sequenced in very meaningful ways. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed seeing these earlier work close up & quite steady & in a nice rhythm. Your comments were also very helpful opening things up. The ones one usually see of his early work in NYC are otherwise the same very few & thereby so much icons it's hard to break through to see the creativity. You've broken through here… GREAT!

His name is pronounced De Coaning, he was born 5 minutes from where I live. We still see him as a great Dutch painter, who was greatly influenced by Vermeer and Mondriaan. A great Rotterdammer.

Thank you so much for this and MOMA for letting you. I know there are books and images on line but to see them all hanging together is wonderful for scale and comparison. Can't wait to see the other parts now. Cheers

Fabulous commentary and video James. When my bro ( whatever ) & myself saw the show a week ago ..already. I actually mentioned jokingly about you and your bike , this is James Kalm from the Moma etc. Small world we live in today. What a show ! i've waited so long to see this type of show. It's a once in a lifetime show. Amazing.

Actually de Kooning disembarked at Newport News, Virginia as a stowaway. He did live in Hoboken, NJ early on and painted houses there for a living.
