Label TextPainter and critic Elaine de Kooning was near the center of the Abstract Expressionist movement from its inception in the late 1940s. When she made this drawing, most of the unrecognized young artists of her circle lived in cold water New York walk-ups. With humble materials, she gave form to their shared ideals of immediacy and creative individuality.ProvenanceG. W. Einstein Company, Inc, New York, NYOn View
