Ankoku 5 (Direct translation - deKooning's women)
2012

This image features a collage of artwork and text on a yellow background. The top left corner contains a black and white sketch of a distorted figure, while the top right displays a colorful painting of a woman with abstract features. Below these, two more black and white sketches show similar distorted figures. In the center left, there's another colorful painting of a woman in a hat, with a vibrant and abstract style. Accompanying these artworks are two text excerpts on white paper, describing a narrative about a woman with amputated legs, using metaphorical language and ending with the words "Bon Soir." The bottom left corner is signed with the initials "R.B. '87."
