Brooklyn-born artist Lenore “Lee” Krasner was among the most talented abstract painters of New York’s midcentury movement. She trained at the Women’s Art School of Cooper Union and the National Academy of Design. Krasner’s energetic and colorful compositions were the product of a tireless impulse to push her creative abilities and explore abstract visual language. Krasner ultimately found recognition as an abstract expressionist, with a 1965 retrospective at London’s Whitechapel Gallery, a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1973, and a full retrospective at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts in 1983.
