Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner: October 15, 2008

Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner:
Portrait of a Couple
Marlene Barasch Strauss, art historian

Jackson Pollock lived for only forty-four years, and in those few years became arguably the most important American painter of the twentieth century. Lee Krasner was an artist in her own right when she met Pollock. A native New Yorker, she had studied with Hans Hofmann and was a member of American Abstract Artists. Krasner and Pollock fell in love, married, and created art that was new to America and new to the art world.
