Willem de Kooning. Zot, 1949
By Alfonso Albacete
This painter from Málaga, Alfonso Albacete, talks about Willem de Kooning, who, in his opinion, is the best representative of the European tradition in the United States, both for his way of working and for his references. De Kooning took the European artistic tradition to North America and, once there, he developed it by freeing it from academicism and prejudice.
