• WILLEM DE KOONING (1904-1997):
  WILLEM DE KOONING (1904-1997): STUDY FOR CLAM DIGGERSCharcoal, pencil and pastel on paper, circa 1960-1965, signed 'de Kooning' lower right, with label from Allan Stone Galleries, NY. 11 x 8 1/2 in. (sheet), 18 x 16 1/4 in. (frame). Note: " When I go down to the water's edge on my daily bicycle ride, I see the clam diggers bending over, up to their ankles in the surf, their shadows quite unreal, as if floating. This is what gave me the idea ." --Willem de Kooning The clam digger motif was one of Willem de Kooning's most enduring subjects, explored across mediums, from his masterful painting on paper Clam Diggers (1963, Private Collection, New York) to his late bronze sculptures, many of which are held in museum collections. Within this pictorial lineage, de Kooning's signature motif emerges in Study for Clam Diggers as a dynamic flurry of charcoal ribbons--a testament to the very tension between abstraction and figuration that defined his art. In 1963, de Kooning moved from New York City to Springs on Long Island, shifting his focus on subject matter and style away from the urban towards the pastoral and reflective, as he settled into his new life away from the intensity of the New York art world. Dating from a pivotal moment in the artist's career, Study for Clam Diggers is an intimate masterwork--a bridge between his assertive Abstract Expressionist works of the late 1950s and the energetic and vibrant figuration of his Women paintings in the 1960s.
