520 $a In this dissertation I argue that Elaine de Kooning's (1918-1989) oeuvre is best understood by examining her work in terms of the ideas about gender in art and culture that were prevalent in her lifetime. Women had become more financially and socially independent in the 1930s and early 1940s, due to the New Deal and World War II. After the war, however, a conservative backlash urged women to return to their traditional gender roles. Yet brewing in this conservative atmosphere was a distinctly different cultural movement. The Beat Poets rejected mainstream values, as did the artists known today as the abstract expressionists. These artists, including Elaine (Fried) de Kooning, converged in Manhattan in the late 1930s. By the 1940s, she had married Willem de Kooning and become firmly entrenched in the downtown art scene.
520 $a Elaine de Kooning, when questioned directly, would always deny the possibility that her gender had any effect on her life as an artist. In this dissertation, I suggest otherwise. Gender, in fact, does inform her work and our understanding of her work. Hence, de Kooning's work is approached thematically, with the exception of Chapter One. The first chapter serves as a brief biography, outlining Elaine de Kooning's life and career.
520 $a Chapter Two examines her abstractions in terms of the abstract vs. representational debate so important to de Kooning and her contemporaries. The chapter examines both the New York art world and larger cultural notions of gender in post-war America and examines how these inform de Kooning's abstract work.
520 $a Chapter Three examines three groups of portraits: those of John F. Kennedy (1962-63), Willem de Kooning (the 1950s), and Caryl Chessman (early 1960s). Caryl Chessman and President Kennedy are the only subjects that reflected her political involvement. Those of Willem de Kooning demonstrate her working process, in which the image of the sitter is stripped down to its essential elements.
