then you like Lee Krasner, an influential abstract expressionist painter in the second half of the 20th Century. She was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1908 to Russian Jewish immigrant parents. She was married to renowned artist, Jackson Pollock.
Aside from putting up with Pollock's drunken, cheatin' ass, Krasner also helped him become what he became-which is probably one of the most famous american painters to date. she rarely got a chance to do her own work. she has only 599 known existing pieces. she was rigorously self-critical and her critical eye is believed to have been important to Pollock's work.
Krasner was portrayed in an Academy Award-winning performance by Marcia Gay Harden in the 2000 film Pollock, a drama about the life of her husband Jackson Pollock directed by Ed Harris.
She died at age 75 in 1984.
