Lee Krasner

Lee Krasner was an influential American artist and a major figure in Abstract Expressionism, a movement emphasizing spontaneous, large-scale, and energetic artworks. She was known for her bold use of color, dynamic compositions, and innovative techniques. Krasner was also the wife of renowned artist Jackson Pollock, but she established her own distinguished career, pushing boundaries in modern art. Her work often explores themes of chaos and order, with a focus on process and experimentation. Krasner's contributions helped shape mid-20th-century American art, and she remains celebrated for her creativity and resilience as a pioneering female artist in a male-dominated field.
