But his solution was cunning: he created an irritably stylish version of Ab-Ex gesture, in which the all-over squiggles of Pollock got absorbed into the loopier, body-based rhythms of '40s De Kooning. In effect, he turned Pollock's rococo lacework into its cruder cousin, graffiti. Did this imply a degree of loss?
