This image-rich essay offers a radical rethinking of the ab-ex painter Willem de Kooning by one of the greatest American art critics. Many have written about de Kooning s startling canvases of monstrous women, but none have approached them this way.

Hidden in plain sight even in paintings of highways, boats, and landscapes, Woman is always there. How could we have missed this?"
