Rosy-fingered Dawn at Louse Point by Willem de Kooning was one of the Monochromasters I made for the first Monochromasters expo in 2020. The painting is in the collection of the Stedelijk in Amsterdam, and the museumshop there is selling A6 cards of it. I immediately bought several.
Since I made the Excavated Colors works, where the monochromaster version was exhibited next to the original art, I was wondering how the original monochromasters would look next to their original works. This collage is as close as I would guess I’d get.
I did not have enough Rosy-fingered Dawn at Louse Point by Willem de Kooning Monochromaster cards to use only those to fill in the A2 collage. So I chose other Monochromaster cards to complement, which had colors that seem related to different individual colors in the original painting. The whole collage becomes a question on the nature of colour, and authorship.
