Since the birth of her daughter Natalya Hughes has been repainting Willem de Kooning’s Woman series from the early 1950s. For Hughes this sustained engagement with these fraught, iconic figures of modern art is a means of attending to the body, of thinking through what it means when there’s a body on the line. Especially the body of a woman.
