No Homework Tonight

WIlliam de Kooning, Untitled I, 1981/// Elle Serbia February 2011

The vibrancy and action in both of these images can be seen in the broad strokes of de Koonings brush and in the translucent sleeves of the model's red blouse. The reflection of Laurence Passera's camera light behind the clothes creates a movement much like the action painting style that was de Kooning's preferred technique. Another similarity is the simple use of color to evoke a greater feeling of style. When both are placed next to one another their colors become enhanced, becoming brighter and more pleasing.
