Answer: De Kooning used aggressive brushwork and bold colors to create emotional, provocative imagery.

Step-by-step explanation:

Willem de Kooning (1904-1997) was part of the Abstract Expressionism movement, which aimed to use painting as an expression of the artist´s emotions. Kooning´s work was characterized by his use of expressive, and even aggressive and frenetic, brushwork as well as by his radical use of bold colors to generate an emotionaly provocative imagery. Some of his most famous works are "Seated Woman" (1940), and "Excavation" (1950).
