Gold Stone 1969

Lee Krasner made this evocative painting with oil on canvas. Just imagine the painting itself coming into being, shifting and emerging through trial, error, and intuition. It's hard not to sympathize with Krasner and imagine her in the act of creation. What might she have been thinking as she made it? The paint isn’t too thick, but not thin either. Look at the way these elements shape our experience of the painting. See that drip right there? Doesn’t it communicate a certain feeling, intention, or meaning? Krasner must have been in an ongoing conversation and exchange of ideas across time, inspiring creativity. Painting is a form of expression which embraces ambiguity and uncertainty. It's a process of inquiry for the artist and for us.
