Thought that Willem de Kooning was a pop artist considering he did a work of Marilyn Monroe just as Warhol did.

I found 15 mentions of Paderewski in the Archive. His greatest significance, for trivia purposes, is that he was briefly Prime Minister of Poland.

Still catching up

R: 20, W:1, costing 800
Coryat: 15,800
FJ: :(
DD: 0/3
LT: coal

Timings:
3:28 + 2:47 = 6:15
6:44
1:25

The J! round was brutal for me. Started at 3 categories: VA governors, Big 12, and fiction. (OK - I did get one Big 12, but needed the long pause and the neg to guess Iowa State.) Should have stared at Hotels - got one right and a lower one wrong.

DJ was more typical for me - at least one in every category. Almost ran entrepreneurs, failing to get Macau on the DD clue there.

I'll help pull the curve down on FJ. Figured it had to be a French name, so went with Debussy. Right century, right language, wrong guy.

De Kooning was the only painter of the main abstract expressionists to feature obvious figuration in his work which he maintained from cubism (for example in his most famous work, Woman I). Many forms before pop art (impressionism, Dada, cubism, surrealism, etc.) featured references to popular culture. The difference with pop art was it's exclusive focus on popular culture and a general disregard for/out right rejection of aesthetic concerns following on from the theories of Marcel Duchamp and leading into the rise of conceptual art later in the sixties.
I just had to jump in here, I GOT THIS QUESTION CORRECT!!!!! I am David Van Auker, and I am the person who found the de Kooning in that New Mexico home. I just thought it would be fun to add that here!!!

I am beyond PROUD that I am responsible for a Jeopardy clue. I am David Van Auker, and I am the person who found the de Kooning painting "woman ocher" in that home in New Mexico. This is one of the top thrills that has happened to me since the discovery!!

got conrad for that lord jim clue because of an episode of ncis: los angeles
