Elaine de Kooning (1918-1989)
In this work Elaine de Kooning demonstrates the abstract expressionist style born in New York in the 1950s (often called "action
painting") to capture the excitement of America's favorite pastime. Her large, fervent brushstrokes evoke the dynamism of
a split-second play while reflecting the artist's immersion in the abstract expressionist style. De Kooning was a visiting
professor of art at the University of Georgia during the late 1970s.
