## Caption

“Every so often, a painter has to destroy painting. Cezanne did it, Picasso did it with Cubism. Then Pollock did it. He busted our idea of a picture all to hell. Then there could be new paintings again.” Happy Birthday Willem de Kooning! Seen here in his Fourth Avenue studio in 1946. Photo credit: Harry Bowden, Archives of American Art. .
