| book description |

A survey of two icons of Abstract Expressionism that examines their distinct but connected careers and artistic legacies Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous examines the connected lives and distinct practices of Lee Krasner (1908â€“1984) and Jackson Pollock (1912â€“1956), two trailblazing artists of the twentieth century. Spanning the full arc of their careersâ€”including before they met, their married years, and Krasnerâ€™s life after Pollockâ€™s deathâ€”this book illustrates more than one hundred paintings and works on paper. The publication highlights the range and art historical importance of Krasnerâ€™s work, evaluates Pollockâ€™s significance anew, and considers the pair as artistic interlocutors against the backdrop of the postwar United States. Essays explore key periods in their creative trajectories, from their parallel emergence in the 1940s New York art scene to their later move to Springs, Long Island. The authors situate the artists within their historical context and trace important breakthroughs in their careers, such as Pollockâ€™s deployment of the â€œdripâ€ technique and Krasnerâ€™s turn to collage. Personal reflections from twenty-first-century artists attest to Krasnerâ€™s and Pollockâ€™s ongoing legacies.
