Two Figures in a Landscape – Willem de Kooning
Two Figures in a Landscape is a painting by Willem de Kooning from 1967: quick, broad strokes of pink, red, yellow and white in which two bodies and a landscape merge. We paint our hand-painted study of Two Figures in a Landscape to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 70 × 60 cm to 203 × 178 cm or in a custom size. Before Two Figures in a Landscape is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Two Figures in a Landscape show?
In Two Figures in a Landscape pink limbs and faces surface first from the swirl of paint, then green and yellow patches that recall grass and light; in places the paint runs downwards, as if the painting had been made in a single sweep. In the 1960s de Kooning lived on Long Island and brought the light of the sea and the fields into his paintings. Two Figures in a Landscape is therefore figurative and abstract at once, full of energy.
How is our hand-painted study of Two Figures in a Landscape made?
Our painters paint the study of Two Figures in a Landscape by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Two Figures in a Landscape has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Two Figures in a Landscape is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
