Panayiotis Kalorkoti says about this work:

"De Kooning is a joke on a joke, for as the painter steps back to survey his work, what he actually sees is my own version of a De Kooning, put together from newspaper articles of suitable vintage and mood. Throughout the entire series my own stance has inevitably coloured the perception and representation of my heroes, and I see my process of selection, re-assemblage and emphasis as a footnote on the mythology of Modern Art."
