Did You Know?

This print is among the very last that Lee Krasner created.

Description

Although known for her use of gestural abstraction, painter Lee Krasner turned to more linear geometry beginning in the 1970s. This print exemplifies the shift within the artist’s practice at this time in its rhythmic blue and green forms. Lithography was an ideal medium for the artist, as it allowed her to draw and paint directly on a prepared stone, including the loose and free lines seen here.
A horizontally oriented color lithograph in dark green, bright blue, and white depicts a bold abstract composition of sweeping organic forms. On the left, a vertical blue-and-white leaf-like form rises. Centrally, a large green shape resembles a heart. To the right, mottled blue bands arc across the white surface. Jagged green linework traces white spaces between intersecting pointed forms. The ink appears mottled in the blue areas and solid green elsewhere.
