/my notes on De Kooning.
/used to debate 'Willem De Kooning' with Lucía and María.
/his black abstract paintings were all black because he had no money to buy color paint.
/he wanted to destroy his painting 'woman I', but an Art critic convinced him not to (the canvas was already dismounted, ready to go).
/see the story on the 'Erased de Kooning Drawing' by Rauschenberg... vandalism or poetry?
