Willem De Kooning at The Accademia in Vence


Yesterday we visited The Gallerie dell'Accademia, here in Venice.
Thankfully, we had done some research, and saw that there was an exhibition of Willem De Kooning works. De Kooning is maybe Johnny's all time favorite artist. What a special treat to have the chance to see this show.

There were large scale paintings, as well as works on paper and sculptures. 






One very happy Artist!


Enjoy...I'm just going to post the photos I took....

These sketches, below...they are ideas pertaining to the sculptures. Finding a way to breakdown the form and recreate it.






























This refers to the painting below.
It was one of my favorites.







In one room, there are several small sculptures with the big paintings. A great combination.



















One of a few larger sculptures.
This is "The Clam Digger"

 



























 









Last, but not least...


If you find yourself in Venice....
