These are the Hanuman titles I now have:
And here’s a scan of the text from Collected Writings describing de Kooning’s appreciation of Cubism: “Personally, I do not need a movement. What was given to me, I take for granted. Of all movements, I like Cubism most. It had that wonderful unsure atmosphere of reflection — a poetic frame where something could be possible, where an artist could practise his intuition. It didn’t want to get rid of what went before. Instead it added something to it. The parts that I can appreciate in other movements came out of Cubism. Cubism became a movement, it didn’t set out to be one. It has force in it, but it was no ‘force-movement.'”
— Willem de Kooning, from “What Abstract Art Means to Me”
in Collected Writings [Hanuman Books, 1988]
