Painter Lee Krasner and his husband Jackson Pollock

Lee Krasner was a prominent figure in the abstract expressionism movement and the wife of the Jackson Pollock. With attributes of oil painting, paper ink and mixed media collages, Krasner creates an aesthetic style of painting, and her large scale collages are often form the artist’s own cut-up paintings and drawings. Krasner took part in an exhibition by the American abstract artists, through which she met Jackson Pollock; they became critical critics and supporters of each other. Jackson Pollock’s influence on Krasner helped her break free of the formalism. She said: In painting, the Internal and external people are inseparable, beyond the skills, beyond the main body, into the inevitable realm. Krasner, who studied under Hans Hoffman, believes that Henry Mattis and Piet Mondrian influenced her practice throughout her life
