De Kooning Retrospective

My reasoning for starting this online, visual diary was so that i could record exceptional trips and events, sights and sounds. Things that have moved or changed me in one way or another.  The Willem De Kooning Retrospective at the MOMA is no exception.  I loved that in short a walk from one room to the next brought you to a new era and a new style. You could very visibly see the changes in his work from year to year.  Some subtle, some drastic.  There was a point where you knew exactly when he really started to hit his stride as an artist and have his own very unique "voice".
