Willem de Kooning cutout portrait

9x12 " Oil on Duraply

This is a cutout done when I was reading his biography.... from a wonderful photo of him at age 55. It's painted on plywood that has a laminated paper on the surface, called duraply, used by signpainters....it is great to paint on, and has none of the woodgrain surface that reguler plywood has. He sits on the mantle here with some other artists....
