Synopsis

Lee Krasner was determined to be an artist. With single-minded passion she pursued her dream. By her twenties she was Hans Hofmann's best student, and a vanguard of America's first art movement, along with de Kooning, Kline and Pollock. But for most of the twentieth century, art was a man's world, and even her peers failed her. Another obstacle for Lee was her marriage to Jackson Pollock, whose star shone so brightly, it cast a shadow over everything around it, eventually self-destructing.The Woman Who Painted The Seasons is a vivid recreation of the tragedies and triumphs of Lee's life, including her determination to be recognized for her art and her passion to ensure Jackson Pollock achieve the success he deserved.

I liked the book and found it very engaging. I knew a bit about Lee Krasner and her relationship with her husband but I did not know much of her early life and how she continued to paint and r=create her entire life.
