About XIX 1982 Willem de Kooning Abstract Expressionist Painting
XIX 1982 is one of a group of paintings begun in 1981 that de Kooning completed as he neared the end of his eighth decade. In the late 1970s the artist’s health had taken a turn for the worse and, says Friedlander, he was painting only rarely. ‘Yet by 1980 he had stopped drinking,’ she explains, ‘and his wife Elaine was helping him to overcome bouts of depression. In 1981, against all odds, he returned to the canvas, full of renewed energy and enthusiasm.’
