The Greatest Living Painter

Examines the life and work of Willem de Kooning. Diagnosed as having Alzheimer's disease in 1988, he was declared legally incompetent a year later. Despite this he has continued to paint, with his later work being the subject of controversy. The programme asks whether the works are the late, great blooming of a real talent or the daubings of an ill man.
