Lee Krasner
Biography
Lenore “Lee” Krasner was an important American abstract expressionist painter, with a strong specialty in collage. She was married to Jackson Pollock
Krasner’s work fluctuated between mosaic-like shapes and representational images, never comfortable with keeping the same aesthetic for very long. During the late 1940s and 1950s, Pollock’s career took off significantly with Krasner’s constant support; his death in a car crash in 1955 following their rocky marriage served as a catalyst for a Krasner’s work.
Her work has been exhibited in retrospectives at the Houston Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn Museum in New York, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among many other institutions.
Born: 1908
Died: 1984
Education: Arts Students League, The Cooper Union, and the National Academy of Design
