Question 10 of 15 • 25-26 ENG 4A DLOC – 3052376
Kari is reviewing her paragraph on the artist Lee Krasner. Read her paragraph.The Abstract Expressionist artist Lee Krasner spent most of her artistic career being known as the wife of another famous Abstract Expressionist, Jackson Pollack. Like the painter Frida Kahlo, Krasner lived in the shadow of her famous husband. A 1948 review of an art exhibit featuring both her work and Pollack’s work illuminates this association. "Lee Krasner seems to be plagiarizing from her husband’s style, though her geometric shapes show a little more dramatic flair” (Winston). This sentiment attributes, or credits, the main artistic execution of the painting to Pollack and suggests that Krasner’s artwork is a revision of his design. This notion is reiterated, or repeated, in a review of Krasner’s work in another gallery 10 years later. Krasner is described as painting "like Pollack, though in a fashion that is more formulaic than genius” (Allan). These reviews highlight the challenge that Krasner faced when trying to be viewed as an artist in her own right.
