Elaine de Kooning was a prominent American painter known for her experimentation with Abstract Expressionist and Figurative Expressionist. Elaine’’s style was solely her own, however, and the artist painted in a wide range of styles, from realism to abstraction. Active in the post-WWII New York art work, Elaine was also a prolific teacher and writer, serving on the editorial team of Artnews magazine and teaching at institutions including Yale University, Pratt Institute, the University of Pennsylvania and the Parsons School of Design. In addition to her outstanding professional achievements, de Kooning is known for her marriage to painter Willem de Kooning.
