Willem de Kooning (1904 - 1997) - Abstract Expressionist - Action Painter

When I first discovered the paintings done by Willem de Kooning, I immediately felt that sense of familiarity again...  His swift brush strokes, expressive use of bold and muted colours and the composition of seemingly unfamiliar objects - like, like and like!  These are just some of my personal favourite paintings of his. Even though his painting style may appear swift (also dubbed "action painting"), a busy man he was indeed, since there are many many more paintings done by him.

Large scale paintings in a room - some of my favourits ... (so far)

Chanel - Fall 2016 Couture - You won't believe the details

This time I just couldn't help myself - Chanel's Fall 2016 Couture collection inspired me to compose some close-ups of the captured images from their most recent runway.  It turns out that even the detailed close-ups are like abstract art images in their own right - so intense, layered, "candy" everywhere for the eye to savour...  If these images are enough to whet your appetite, do indulge in the entire collection here.  Bon appètit!
