Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp). "The key is what is within the artist.
The artist can only paint what she or he is
about." Lee Krasner (1979). Krasner, like a lot
of us, has molded her personal history into what
she wanted it to be, often for the sake of the
story to be told. However, considering there were
times when she did not even paint at all, the show
is a strong and cohesive statement about her work
and her intent.

of the arts, and its necessary overall attention to detail. We might say that de Kooning gave her permission for the wildness in her work, Matisse the joyful use
of color, and Mondrian, the sense of painting as construction and composition. The works, which I personally enjoyed the most were the collection of Krasners collages, which are more intimate
works than the colossal The Eye is the First Circle (about 93" x 191" or about eight by sixteen feet), for example. Here her art takes a more
personal turn possibly in reaction to her husbands alcoholism. The first collage pieces were fashioned by ripping apart old works from her past, reassembling them with oils and from
those additions constructing something all together new. These could have been therapeutic pierces as they are visual markers for the turmoil in her personal life.
