Lee Krasner

Long overshadowed by her marriage to Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner is now recognized as a major figure in 20th-century art—a bold innovator whose work helped shape modernism. In Lee Krasner, acclaimed biographer Gail Levin offers a richly detailed and engrossing account of an artist who refused to be defined by anyone but herself.

Krasner emerges as a passionate, fiercely intelligent force—an influential painter and a trailblazer for women in the art world. Levin draws on extensive research and personal insight to illuminate Krasner’s creative journey, her struggles for recognition, and her lasting impact. More than a supporting figure in Pollock’s story, Krasner stands here as a groundbreaking artist in her own right, whose legacy continues to inspire.
