Self#me 1 - de Kooningan Woman - Phil Vance
Self#me 1 is the de Kooningian Woman. We get lost in her mess, not really sure what we are looking at. But somehow we know it is #explicit and #disturbing. The sexuality is unsettling because it seems to be in everything. Each #posture composed. Each #prop deliberate. #oilpainting
