I have seen other shows that included Pollock and Krasner and have always felt that Pollock's paintings took all my attention. My experience with Lee Krasner's painting that I write about is a new one for me.I was genuinely surprised by how I felt. Perhaps it's the way the show was curated or just that enough time has passed to see all this work clearly. Even though the artists were working at the same time and dealing with similar issues, each artist approached their painting boldly and independently.Kyle Gallupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522800471258383718.post-91269789662385092122010-10-07T20:33:45.234-04:002010-10-07T20:33:45.234-04:00A really swell, effective, and personal approach. ...A really swell, effective, and personal approach. I remember seeing that Krasner picture years ago with Pollock nearby and thinking Pollock's bold shadow virtually obscured it. This "letter" sheds fresh, welcome light on the picture, and I'm grateful. (NB: See, the meanings of works of art Do change with changing times and circumstances, and the changes don't even necessitate killing the artist. Phew!)Carl Belznoreply@blogger.com
