In 1946, too poor to buy artists' pigments, Willem de Kooning turned to black and white household enamels to paint a series of large abstractions; of these works, Light in August (c. 1946) and Black Friday (1948) are essentially black with white elements, whereas Zurich (1947) and Mailbox (1947/48) are white with black.
At latter age, Willem de Kooning suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
