Lee Krasner

Robert Carleton Hobbs

3.9/5 ( ratings)

This is a complete reappraisal of Lee Krasner , who, along with her husband, Jackson Pollock, was among the artists who launched the New York School of painting after World War II. One of the few critically recognized female Abstract Expressionists of her generation, she has emerged as an essential figure in postwar American art.This lavishly illustrated book, the companion to a major traveling exhibition, takes a fresh look at Krasner and highlights the striking originality and complexity of her work. Krasner saw her art as an open-ended exploration and a dialogue with a wide range of artistic, literary, and cultural voices. Complete with never-before-published excerpts from the diary of writer B. H. Friedman, a longtime associate of Krasner's who provides priceless insights into this pivotal period of American history, this book is essential for any art library.

This book and the exhibition it accompanies were developed by Independent Curators International , a non-profit organization that creates innovative, provocative traveling exhibitions of contemporary art that have been presented in museums and university galleries worldwide.
