Lee Krasner
by Robert Hobbs
Lee Krasner never took the easy way out-not in life, not in art. Brought up in a poor Brooklyn neighborhood and originally named Lena Krasner by her immigrant parents, she decided early on to create a new name and a new identity for herself. Later, as one of the few female painters in the aggressively male circle of Abstract Expressionists, she had to contend not only with the critics' skepticism about their new way of making art but also with the skepticism that greeted any woman's attempts to become a professional artist.
This book is a magnificent presentation of Krasner’s oeuvre, chock-full of color and black-and-white plates. A must have for Abstract Expressionism admirers!
