New York City

He was a Dutch-American abstract expressionist artist. Born in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, he moved to the United States in 1926, becoming a US citizen in 1962. In 1943, he married painter Elaine Fried

  Is this a favorable image of a Women?

This painting called Woman I, has the number after it because ultimately there were six such large-scale paintings of single women that de Kooning worked on in the 1950s. The woman of the painting is staring out at the viewer with a ferocity and a  toothy glare that makes her anything but typical that one might think of in terms of the hundreds of years of paintings of female subjects.
