Answer

After World War II, Willem de Kooning was associated with the style of action painting. Action painting is a style of abstract expressionism that emphasizes the process of creation. Artists working in this style often work quickly and spontaneously, and their paintings often feature energetic brushstrokes and vivid colors. De Kooning's own paintings in this style are characterized by their bold use of color and their dynamic, gestural brushwork.
