Willem de Kooning

Yesterday we saw the retrospective of Willem de Kooning at de Kunsthal in Rotterdam.
I expected his paintings to be more colourful then they actually are. The colour and paint in his works always is mat and unvarnished. I would have liked to see a better explanation of his style break when he got old with Parkinson disease, maybe because I think his later works are just not quite that good.

While buying postcards in the museum my phone got knicked. I felt the awkward when a guy stood too close to me. I didn’t like his cough and moved away. Finding out ten minutes later that my phone was not in the pocket. You wouldn’t expect such a thing in a museum shop, would you? This can happen to anyone said my girlfriend but still I feel such a tourist.
