Lee Krasner’s stirring work and charismatic personality could have made her a superstar of the Abstract Expressionist generation. Yet for years she was better known as Jackson Pollock’s wife, her art ignored and her story mistold. Gail Levin redresses the balance with this engrossing biography of the pioneering painter, firebrand and trailblazer for women’s rights. Her personal interviews, original research and lucid prose restore Krasner’s voice and illuminate an exceptional artist who led a truly fascinating life.
