"Lee Krasner (1908-1984) is one of the few women artists ever to be the subject of a catalogue raisonné. The acheivement documented in this long-awaited study spans over fifty year: the Depression and WPA era, the World War II period, during which an influx of European émigré artists changed American art forever, the start of Drasner's liaison with jackson Pollock, the development of Abstract Expressionism, the rise, decline and death of Pollock, and Drasner's emergence as a full-fledged artist on her own" (jacket).
