I love these paintings. I saw Lee Krasner's "The Springs" in D.C., and was taken in by the incredibly beauty and calmness of her work. Though originally I confused it with a Pollock, the amazing lull that it put me into is indicative of Lee Krasner - not the frenetic, breathless feeling I get when looking at a Pollock. (This one I also saw in D.C.) I always wonder, them being husband and wife.. if that's what she did for him? If her paintings are as much of a counterbalance to his.. as she was to him?
