Louis van Gaal launched his reign
as Manchester United manager in
emphatic style with Wayne Rooney, Ashley Young and youngster Reece James all scoring twice in a remarkable 7 - 0 victory against LA Galaxy in California.
From September 1959 to January 1960 de Kooning sojourned in Italy, working in Rome, where he produced what are now known
as his «black and white» paintings, such
as Black and White (Rome) 1959 (fig. 6).24 These are highly reminiscent of Kline's signature
style in their combination of bold gestural abstraction, a black and white palette and structured compositions that consist of a series of
emphatic strokes that are at odds with each other and positioned at angles that create nearly regular geometric shapes, such
as triangles and squares.
