All Lee Krasner ever wanted was to be an artist. Passionate and determined, she pursued her dream with fearless dedication. By her twenties, she had become Hans Hofmann's top student and a vanguard of America's first art movement, later to be known as Abstract Expressionism, working alongside legends like de Kooning, Kline, and Pollock. Yet, in the male-dominated art world of the twentieth century, female painters struggled to gain recognition.
The Woman Who Painted the Seasons is a vivid and compelling portrayal of Lee Krasner's extraordinary life. From her artistic journey filled with triumphs and tribulations to her complex relationships with the men she loved, this book captures the experiences of an artist who defied the odds. It highlights her unwavering support for her troubled husband, Jackson Pollock, and how she helps him become America's most renowned modern artist, as well as the efforts of 1960s feminists who were determined to correct the gender inequality in the art world by drawing attention to Lee's work. Lee's story is one of resilience, passion, and the unyielding pursuit of artistic expression in a world that often underestimated her.
The Woman Who Painted the Seasons offers readers a deep and emotional insight into the turbulent life of Lee Krasner, a long-overlooked vanguard of America's Abstract Expressionist movement, and the woman to whom Jackson Pollock owes his success.
