The first full length account of Lee Krasner’s colourful life Lee Krasner’s stirring work and charismatic personality could have made her a superstar of the Abstract Expressionist generation. Yet for years she was better known as Jackson Pollock’s wife, her art ignored and her story mistold. Gail Levin redresses the balance with this engrossing biography of the pioneering painter, firebrand and trailblazer for women’s rights. Her personal interviews, original research and lucid prose restore Krasner’s voice and illuminate an exceptional artist who led a truly fascinating life.
'Beautifully evokes a period in American art that laid the groundwork for the women artists of today'
Erica Jong
'[Levin’s] book, dense with documentation and quotations from letters and interviews, is the culmination of decades of scholarship, advocacy and even friendship with Krasner … empathetic and insightful … Krasner comes wonderfully alive, especially in her own words, in Levin’s pages'
Literary Review
'Rigorous research, deep knowledge of art and cultural history, penetrating analysis and a flair for storytelling bring to life a fully formed Lee Krasner. Those who never knew her will wish they had, and those who did will be amazed'
Helen A. Harrison, Director of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center
'[Draws] on her close personal relationship with the painter and a multitude of interviews … impressively researched'
