Willem de Kooning is regarded as the most illustrious abstract expressionist painter of the New York School. This award-winning film offers probing interviews with de Kooning himself as he recalls his early struggles, remembers his camaraderie with key figures in the Greenwich Village avant-garde of the 1940s, and offers glimpses into his inspirations and motivations. Rare historical film footage enlivens de Kooning`s words, showing him slashing paint onto canvas and masterfully creating large-scale drawings. This landmark document delivers a dynamic portrait of one of America`s most acclaimed artists.. Click here for information on the 5-part Strokes of Genius series
