If i hadnt found a book on williem de kooing at the local library when i was 15 i would not have become the artist i am today. the book of his work was the pivot upon which my life spun. de kooning represented the pinnacle of what an artist could achieve. besides a prestigous talent he was a hard worker and never took the easy way out.
all that being said i have a new favorite artist, Richard Diebenkorn. His body of work is simply amazing. while de kooning could hit or miss with certain works diebenkorn had a sophiscation and color approach that rivaled any challenger. diebenkorn ,to be, showed everything an artist aims to show in ones career.
