Willem de Kooning was a Dutch-American abstract expressionist artist. Born in Rotterdam in 1904, he moved to the United States in 1926, becoming an American citizen in 1962. In 1943 he married the painter Elaine Fried.

In the years following World War II, de Kooning painted in a style that came to be called abstract expressionism or "action painting," and was part of a group of artists that became known as the New York School. Other painters in this group included Jackson Pollock, Elaine de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Franz Kline, Arshile Gorky, Mark Rothko, Hans Hofmann, Nell Blaine, Adolph Gottlieb, Anne Ryan, Robert Motherwell, Philip Guston, Clyfford Still, and Richard Pousette-Dardo. De Kooning's retrospective held at MoMA in 2011-2012 made him one of the best-known artists of the 20th century.
