Wilem De Kooning no abandona el lenguaje del expresionismo, pero lo descarga de significado, le quita protesta y agresividad, el contenido social que tenía en Europa. Ayudado por el ejemplo de Picasso, libera al expresionismo de los temas figurativos y sustituye el Expresionismo figurativo por un Expresionismo abstracto.
De Kooning took an unusually long time to create Woman, I, making numerous preliminary studies and repainting the work repeatedly. The hulking, wild-eyed subject draws upon an amalgam of female archetypes, from Paleolithic fertility goddesses to contemporary pin-up girls.
Between 1950 and 1953, de Kooning made the series for which he is best known, the Women, and this painting from approximately 1952 is a fine example of the subject. The small scale of this painting on paper belies both the potency of the iconic image and the dramatic dynamism of the vigorous, gestural brushwork.
