Charging Bull No. 7 1959

Elaine de Kooning’s 1959 abstract painting, "Charging Bull No. 7", is a vibrant, dynamic work that showcases her bold, gestural style. The artwork features a chaotic, layered composition of thick paint strokes and expressive brushwork. The use of vibrant colors, including bold yellows, blues, reds, and greens, creates a sense of movement and energy. De Kooning’s abstract works are often seen as a reaction to the emerging abstract expressionist movement, with her emphasis on form and structure challenging the spontaneity of the style.
