Summary

Here's the tale of a 22-year-old Dutch immigrant who stowed away illegally to America, only to emerge as one of the towering figures of modern art. If ever you've seen an abstract painting and wondered, "What gives here?" then de Kooning's story will open your eyes -- and heart -- to the magical world of passion and color, From an immigrant who painted houses solely to earn a living, to an internationally acclaimed artist who ended up transforming the way we look at the world today, this book is the essence of Willem de Kooning.
