Willem de Kooning was a Dutch immigrant painter that came to the United States in the 1950's. He is best known for the painting Woman V, which took two years to complete. He dueled with Jackson Pollock for the title of leader of the decadent Abstract-Espressionist school. He was plagued with alchohol addiction his entire life, like many of his contemporary's.
