In his fascination with landscape and figurative subjects, Willem de Kooning always veered away from mainstream Abstract Expressionism, a movement in which he was nevertheless a leader. The Glazier belongs to a series of paintings of men created in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The artist said that his palette of somber earth tones was inspired by the Boscoreale frescoes that he had often come to see at The Met.
