I recently discovered that the Phoenix Art Museum owns a painting by Willem de Kooning, a painter I posted about last year after visiting one of his paintings that was stolen in a rather bold way.
He is not an artist that I'm particularly fond of but I do have to admit that this painting poses more appeal to me than the one that was stolen. You can read that incredible story here.
Willem de Kooning was a Dutch-American abstract expressionist born in Rotterdam in 1904. This painting is called "Woman in the Pool". I'm not sure I see her unless that is her in the upper right corner.
If you enjoy a good mystery, check the link above. The story of that stolen painting is fascinating.

That's so interesting that you found a de Kooning painting at the Phoenix Art Museum! It's always cool to see an artist's work in person, even if they're not your favorite. Thanks for sharing this.
