內容簡介
內容簡介 In Gail Levin’s riveting biography, Lee Krasner emerges as a significant artist who richly deserves her place in the 20th century’s cultural lexicon. Drawing on new sources and numerous personal interviews – including with Krasner herself – Levin has created a dynamic and moving portrait of a brilliant woman, and in so doing recovers Krasner’s voice and allows us to understand how her life intersected with and informed her art.Table of ContentsIntroduction • 1.
