Lee Krasner

Lenore "Lee" Krasner (1908-1984) was an American abstract expressionist painter who was born in Brooklyn, New York. She was a prominent member of the New York School of artists, which also included Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko, among others.

Krasner initially trained as a traditional artist and began her career creating representational paintings. However, in the 1940s, she began to experiment with abstraction and quickly became one of the leading practitioners of the Abstract Expressionist movement.

Krasner's work is characterized by its expressive use of color and gesture, and her large, abstract canvases often feature layers of dripping, swirling paint. She was deeply influenced by the natural world and often incorporated organic shapes and forms into her work.
