Collage Inspired by Lee Krasner This post is titled Collage Inspired by Lee Krasner and includes 3 collage paintings by Lee Krasner and 9 collages by adult students I teach at the Pelham Art Center. I designed the class project. I wanted the students to be inspired by Lee Krasner’s images and the way she found and worked with her own figure drawings she had created years before. In class we discussed how she tore up her own figure drawing and glued them to her paintings and created works that were totally amazing and groundbreaking at the time – and are still inspiring to artists and students today. This post also includes comments by the art critic Barbara Rose, from an essay that was included in the Paul Kasmin Gallery exhibition catalog Lee Krasner: The Solstice Series in 2017. The essay was printed earlier for the 1983 Lee Krasner retrospective at the Museum of Fine Art, Houston and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Krasner died in 1984 and was not well enough to attend her museum exhibitions. She lived a long life and waited a long time for the critical recognition she deserved.
