A new monograph on the life and work of an outstanding abstract
expressionist painter, now emerging as one of the most important
women artists of the 20th century. This monograph accompanies the
first European retrospective of the work of Lee Krasner
(1908-1984). One of the original abstract expressionists, Krasner's
importance has for too long been eclipsed by her marriage to
Jackson Pollock. In fact, his death in 1956 marked her renaissance
as an artist. Over the course of more than five decades, Krasner
continually scrutinized and reinvented her practice, giving her
work formidable energy and impact. Her accomplishments began to be
recognized toward the end of her life and in 1984 she became one of
the few women artists to be given a solo exhibition at MoMA. As
Krasner quipped about her belated recognition: 'I was a woman,
Jewish, a widow, a damn good painter, thank you, and a little too
independent'. This volume features an outstanding selection of her
most important paintings, collages and drawings, contextualized by
photography from the post-war period, an illustrated chronology,
and includes an unpublished interview with her biographer Gail
Levin. Tracing her evolution as an artist - from her earliest
self-portraits to the acclaimed 'little image' series, from her
1950s collages to epic painterly canvases - this book offers a
vivid impression of one of the most tenacious women artists of the
20th century, whose work and life feels more relevant than ever
today.
