Many of Krasner's male colleagues - including her husband, Jackson
Pollock - developed a unique "signature" style that identified them
throughout their careers. Krasner, however, experimented with one
style after another, from her early geometric abstractions (created
while she was one of Hans Hofmann's most talented students),
through her large-scale organic images of mid-career, to the
hard-edge compositions of her late years. Certain elements recur
throughout - most notably, her distinctive sense of colour, her
affinity for swelling forms inspired by nature, and her
fearlessness in experimenting with new techniques. Krasner's
unwillingness to stick to one style, her readiness to put her
career aside to focus on Pollock's, and her feuds with some of the
period's most powerful critics all reduced her visibility in the
art world. She has been the subject of exhibition catalogs, but
this is the first monograph devoted to her work, and it brings to
light all the intriguing complexities of her approach to making
art. Dr. Robert Hobbs skillfully explores the twists and turns of
her career, offering new information and insight about one of the
most intriguing painters of the postwar era. About the Modern
Masters series: With informative, enjoyable texts and over 100
illustrations - approximately 48 in full colour - this innovative
series offers a fresh look at the most creative and influential
artists of the postwar era. The authors are highly respected art
historians and critics chosen for their ability to think clearly
and write well. Each handsomely designed volume presents a thorough
survey of the artist's life and work, as well as statements by the
artist, an illustrated chapter on technique, a chronology, lists of
exhibitions and public collections, an annotated bibliography, and
an index. Every art lover, from the casual museumgoer to the
serious student, teacher, critic, or curator, will be eager to
collect these Modern Masters. And with such a low price, they can
afford to collect them all.
