As a writer who dated a writer, I realized that was a fantastically bad idea, because writers are typically competitive (even if we don't mean to be) and one would feel upstaged...and he did. (Please note my less than illustrious writing career.) Anyway, my dull point is, I never understood how two very vibrant artists could couple up and be successful, both in their work and relationship. Then again, Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne. So, what do I know? LOL. Great post, Matt. xo
Takes me back to Art college, when I was enamoured with the Abstract Expressionists.
Reflecting back on what I remember from my study of the movement, Willem and Elaine's cohabitational artistic and romantic relations were the opposite of Jackson Pollock's and Lee Krasner's relationship.
Intersting article. Whilst I cannot claim to understand much of de Koonings' work, the opportunity to learn about their legacy in the history of art is much appreciated.
