Oil on canvas, framed, featuring an abstract artwork, Signed and attr. Lee Krasner (American, 1908-1984), on the lower right corner. 19.5 x 15.6 in. (49.5 x 39.5 cm). Lee Krasner was a major figure in the American Abstract Expressionist movement and the wife of Jackson Pollock. Working in oil on canvas, ink on paper, and mixed-media collage, Krasner produced works characterized by a sensuous painterly style, her large-scales collages often formed from the artist’s own cut-up paintings and drawings. Krasner exhibited with the American Abstract Artists group, through which she met Pollock; the two became vital critics and supporters of one another, and Pollock’s influence on Krasner helped free her from formalist strictures.
