The women series of paintings by willem de kooning caused a stir in the art world.

The correct answer is: seen as shocking and brutal. In this series, Kooning distorted the faces and bodies of women, which added a violent connotation to the pieces. Kooning also received the criticism that his paintings were degrading to women, because he portrayed them as collage-like and misshapen. 

A concert band, also called wind ensemble, symphonic band, wind symphony, wind orchestra, wind band, symphonic winds, symphony band, or symphonic wind ensemble, is a performing ensemble consisting of members of the woodwind, brass, and percussion families of instruments, along with the double bass.

A concert band’s repertoire includes original wind compositions, transcriptions/arrangements of orchestral compositions, light music, and popular tunes. Though the instrumentation is similar, a concert band is distinguished from the marching band in that its primary function is as a concert ensemble. The standard repertoire for the concert band does, however, contain concert marches.
