	Lee Krasner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lee Krasner (October 28, 1908 - June 19, 1984) was an influential abstract expressionist painter in the second half of the 20th Century.
		In 1944, Krasner married artist Jackson Pollock, who was also influential in the same movement.
		Krasner was portrayed in an Academy Award-winning performance by Marcia Gay Harden in the 2000 film Pollock, a drama about the life of her husband Jackson Pollock directed by Ed Harris.

	Lee Krasner in Brooklyn by Karen Wilkin
		Krasner seemed to me to be an intelligent, ambitious, but limited artist, someone whose work as a whole never quite fulfilled the promise of her best individual pictures.
		Krasner’s generous, scaled-up collage paintings of the first half of the 1950s, with their clean edges, their clear expanses of color, and their amplitude, with their sense of the natural world’s having been transposed—but not replicated—as vigorous constructed images, are a refreshing change after the knotty Little Images.
		Krasner emerges, too, despite the shifts within her long evolution, as a rather single-minded painter with a fairly consistent vocabulary of circular, self-generating shapes and an even more consistent palette of mostly saturated, hot colors, set off by murky earth tones.

	Art Cellar Exchange - Lee Krasner
		Lee Krasner's place in American art can be qualified in many ways, including through her role as a forerunner of the first original American art movement - Abstract Expressionism.
		Krasner's study of the figure in Hofmann's class surely became a factor in her later works that utilize bio-morphic forms, strongly suggesting a human origin.
		Krasner she saw no purpose in keeping unsuccessful experiments and is known to have destroyed many of her early works.

	About Lee Krasner \| Abbeville Press
		Krasner's friend John Graham once wrote, "Starting a painting is starting an argument in terms of canvas and paint." Taking Graham a step further, she turned the process of painting into an intense debate with herself and with other artists.
		Like many creative individuals, Krasner tended to be inconsistent, and critics have come to radically different conclusions about her--some declaring that she was independent, others that she was dependent; some declaring that she needed to control, others that she desired to be controlled.
		Krasner was capable of continuing feuds for decades, but she could also inspire and maintain significant friendships throughout her life.

		Krasner was also intent on making the leap from a simple parochial background to a sophisticated modern one: she studied first at the Cooper Union (1926-28), then the Art Students League (briefly), the National Academy of Design (1928-32), and City College (1932-22) where she intended to obtain a teaching certificate.
		Krasner fell into an aesthetic slumber in the early war years, and she referred to it later as her "mud period." "A possible explanation for these dense, turgid works of the mid-1940s," Mr.
		The auction catalogue notes that Krasner would tear up works with which she was dissatisfied during the period in which this lot was created but noticed that when she made a heap on the floor "something exciting was happening." Indeed, Krasner's work tends to be much more structured than that of Jackson Pollock, her husband.

	Natural Woman
		Jackson Pollock taught Lee Krasner the difference between art that imitates nature and art that is itself a force of nature; a retrospective shows what a dazzling student she was.
		Krasner's academic and modernist art training and her important early interests in Surrealism and Picasso are acknowledged succinctly.
		Krasner credited him with helping her to understand the difference between observing nature and then painting what she saw, and making the act of painting itself an expression of the movements and rhythms of nature.

	Lee Krasner
		Continuing her active involvement in artistic, political, and professional causes, Krasner joined the American Abstract Artists, showed her paintings in the group's exhibitions, and rapidly gained credence as a younger-generation modernist.
		The most salient characteristic of Krasner's development was her tendency periodically to revise her earlier efforts, sometimes reworking pieces more than once and occasionally destroying whole bodies of work.
		Krasner's development was interrupted in late 1962 when she suffered a near-fatal brain aneurysm; this and subsequent bouts of ill health hampered her work for nearly two years.

		Krasner's interest in Matisse is documented in her painting Blue and Black, in which she created an abstract equivalent to the open-window-and-patterned-curtain motif in Matisse's late paintings.
		Whereas Matisse was investigating ideas concerning inside versus outside and depth versus flatness, Krasner was transforming the window-drapery-calligraphy paneling her painting into a smaller mirror image of the painting itself.

		This exhibition of works by American painter Lee Krasner (1908-1984)-the first full-scale retrospective since her death-presents sixty paintings, collages, and drawings, many of them not exhibited in decades, on loan from public and private collections around the world.
		Krasner, the only woman artist who was part of the first generation of the New York School, was known for many years primarily as the wife and artistic follower of Jackson Pollock.
		The works selected for the show trace Krasner's development, beginning with a self-portrait (1930) through her early geometric abstractions of the late 1930s and early 1940s (when she became an important member of New York's vanguard) to her mature works.

		Though she was well known when she met Pollock, his paintings and persona largely overshadowed Krasner during their tumultuous years together.
		After Pollock's death in 1956, Krasner went through a period of inactivity until reemerging with her "Little Image" series in the 1960's.

		Krasner is finding a personal recovery from death, just as her titles point to rebirth or the seasons.
		Krasner always made most progress in the same way—with modest means, a backward glance, love for those near her, and persistence in a sexist world.
		Krasner's great work after his death hardly defers to him for sheer force or for the trajectory of paint, but her confidence and her early Modernist roots can make him seem to follow no rules at all.

		Harris helped Harden understand why Krasner put her own career on hold to nurture an abusive husband: "Lee realized this man had the potential to create art that she loved," he told The Journal.

		This wonderful exhibit at Robert Miller of Lee Krasner's work is revealing and instructive in the establishing of an individual artist within the context of an ideology of modern art.
		It's very clear that Lee Krasner was a Hans Hofmann student.
		While visually and spatially stunning they in no way contain any passages of raw painting associated with the Hofmann style or with Pollack for that matter, rather they are restrained to geometric designs painted in flat even colors except for some areas of agitated brushwork that is always carefully contained and orchestrated.

		The abstract expressionist painter Lee Krasner has recently been fictionalised not once but twice, in Ed Harris's film Pollock and John Updike's novel Seek My Face.
		It's almost uncanny to be confronted by the real, flesh and blood Krasner - which of course you're not, as she has been dead since 1984 - yet the vitality of New York School painting is such that, in every dried splash, you feel her presence.
		Krasner was one of the first painters in wartime Manhattan to learn the lessons of the European surrealists exiled there; one of the first to study Jung; one of the first to discover abstraction.

		Lee Krasner's work has a strong connection to the natural world.
		Early in Krasner's career Marcel Duchamp advised her, "You have a very strong inner rhythm, you must never lose it." This instinctive inner rhythm was largely responsible for the haunting beauty of Lee Krasner's work.
		Maybe that is the meaning of it all: to embrace the inherent beauty in nature that we don't always understand and to never lose the sense of adoration that Krasner displayed in these rhythmic, expressive canvases.

		At nearly every stage of her 15-year marriage to the universally recognized Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner was quicker to respond to stylistic innovations in the art world than her husband.
		Some critics read Krasner's dynamic painting style as evidence of her superiority as an artist, but others saw her porousness as a problem, and Pollock's comparative insularity as one key to his uniqueness.
		The reproductions of Krasner's drawings and paintings (97 in color) are excellent, giving a fair picture of her long career, and there are more than a score of fl-and-white archival photos of Krasner and the other early abstract expressionists.
