December 2015 edit

We made major changes to the page by adding a lot of information for our Women in American Art History class at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjp1234 (talk • contribs) 22:37, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Students edited this page after extensive research as part of my course, "Women in American Art." Their changes went through several drafts and I approved the final version. For more information about the course, please see my user page. Sbeetham (talk) 15:49, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Infobox Image

I don’t believe this is an appropriate image for Elaine de Kooning. By all accounts she was a vibrant, energetic, attractive woman, so I think a better image should be found for her. The image at the top of this article is better. There are no images in the Commons and I am a new Wikipedia editor. Could someone help replace the image using fair use rationale? Thank you!Betzir77 (talk) 23:40, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

November 2020 Edit

Elaine de Kooning's time in the West has been mostly overlooked by critics, but evidence indicates that de Kooning's time there gave her many new opportunities, specifically her friendship with Texas-based art dealer, Dord Fitz. I would encourage the editors to look further into Fitz's impact on de Kooning's career and how his non-biased opinions about female artists allowed de Kooning to develop a career outside the mostly masculine Abstract Expressionist movement that was happening in New York.
