Lee Krasner (American, 1908–1984) • Self-Portrait • 1929

“I like a canvas to breathe and be alive. Be alive is the point.”

– Lee Krasner

An early painting of Krasner's which does not represent the abstract expressionist style she's known for. Married to Jackson Pollock, she concentrated on promoting his work, putting her own career on the back burner. She established herself among the New York School of abstract expressionists, though more widely, she was largely unrecognized as an artist until her later years when she acquired success for her large, horizontal paintings characterized by bright contrasting colors and sharp lines.
