Abstraction (Standing Bull) 1958

Elaine de Kooning's "Abstraction (Standing Bull)" from 1958 is an abstract expressionist work of art. It showcases her talent for abstracting recognizable forms into a dynamic composition. The artwork's bold strokes and rich colors, including blues, yellows, and whites, create a sense of movement and energy. The title suggests a connection to the bull, a common subject in de Kooning's work, but the artist's abstract style emphasizes the emotional and expressive potential of the form. This artwork is an excellent example of de Kooning's signature abstract style, which blurred the lines between representation and pure abstraction.
