Lee Krasner: A Biography ReviewFinally a real down to earth book on Lee Krasner's life and art by a first rate art historian. Gail Levin tells the heart-felt story of Lee Krasner's struggle to be seen as an artist in her own right instead of being folded into the Jackson Pollock legend she helped to create. I interviewed Lee in the 1980s and found her to be a warm, witty and intelligent woman willing to talk about Jackson Pollocks life and art as well as her own.
She was a powerful artist in her own right who because of the art world's discrimination against women was not given her due. Gail Levin's new biography is a much needed corrective to the view that Lee was just the little wife painting in the bathroom who kept shinning up Pollock's tarnished image.
As this book shows Lee was an artist of some note before she ever met Jackson. She was the one who shored him up and helped him find his own style as well as introducing him to an art world he did not know.
What emerges from this biography is a fresh look at Lee Krasner as a woman from a Jewish family trying to make a name for herself in art. It shows her to be a devoted wife and friend to Jackson Pollock despite his drinking and abuse of her love for him. It details her struggles to keep the marriage together and somehow integrate her art into this volitile mix. Levin's strong writing style, her intimate knowledge of the artist and the art scene give us a moving picture of what it meant to be a woman artist emerging during the 1940s and finally getting some recognition because of the women's movement in the late 1970s.
This book is a triumph of scholarship and will stand the test of time and those who refuse to take a fresh look at this extraordinary woman.Lee Krasner: A Biography Overview
