'Excavation' by Willem de Kooning - 1950
"The
abstract-expressionists prefer expression over
perfection, vitality over finish,
fluctuation over calmness, the unknown over the familiar, the veiled over the
clear, the individual over society
and the inner
over the outer."
- quote by William Seitz
Excavation, 1950, oil and
enamel on canvas, 81 x 100 1/4 inches
