"Pour moi, un tableau est avant tout un verbe, pas un nom - un événement d'abord et seulement accessoirement une image." - Elaine de Kooning

Histoire

Le brillant récit de Mary Gabriel sur les femmes qui se sont tenues à l'écart de leurs homologues masculins, puis qui les ont peints, devait bien s'arrêter à un moment donné. Après tout, Ninth Street Women fait 700 pages. Mais son dernier chapitre, intitulé à juste titre "Epilogue", résume la phase suivante de l'école de New York et de l'expressionnisme abstrait comme s'ils étaient morts en 1960, lorsque les toiles de Frank Stella, rigoureusement peintes en peinture noire, ont mis le monde de l'art sens dessus dessous. En vérité, il y avait plus qu'un changement de saison dans l'air de Manhattan, mais pour trois femmes - Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler et Elaine de Kooning - rien n'était plus faux. La plupart de leurs meilleurs travaux seront réalisés dans les décennies à venir. Quant à Elaine, en 1957, elle avait gagné une bataille acharnée pour parvenir à l'autosuffisance. Elle est libérée de Willem, possède sa propre voiture et, comme pour souligner ce fait accompli, elle voyage dans l'Ouest, découvre les couleurs et l'étendue du paysage et goûte au drame et aux couleurs de la corrida de la Plaza Monumental de Ciudad Juárez, au Mexique. Ses peintures et dessins ont été inspirés par la douzaine de corridas auxquelles elle a assisté. Ce sont des transmutations de cette expérience, des derviches tourbillonnants de couleurs et d'actions palpitantes. La ferveur avec laquelle elle attaquait la toile ou le support papier a changé à jamais. Soudain, voici une artiste qui se montre à la hauteur de l'idéal d'Harold Rosenberg lorsqu'il appelle la naissance de "l'action painting... une arène dans laquelle agir" et affirme que ce qui apparaît sur la toile "n'est pas une image mais un événement".
