Painting - Willem de Kooning, 1948
From MoMA:
De Kooning used oil and enamel sign paint to make this work. With tracing paper he transferred segments of figurative drawings to the canvas, then applied layers of paint. “Even abstract shapes must have a likeness,” he said, and these black forms bounded by white vaguely resemble human figures and inanimate objects. The paint drips, bleeds, congeals, and dissolves into delicate streaks, resulting in a densely packed painting composed with a great economy of means.
