Another storm by Lee Krasner

Another storm

By Lee Krasner, 1963

This energetic abstract painting pulses with raw emotion through its bold slashes of deep red and white paint. Lee Krasner created this work during a particularly turbulent period in her life, and you can feel that intensity in every aggressive brushstroke. The canvas seems to capture a genuine storm, whether internal or external, with its swirling, almost violent movement across the surface.

Krasner was a key figure in Abstract Expressionism, though she often worked in the shadow of her famous husband, Jackson Pollock. After his death, her own work became more forceful and freed from constraint. She attacked the canvas with remarkable physical energy, layering paint in thick, gestural marks that feel both destructive and creative at once. The limited palette of reds, whites, and browns creates a sense of urgency and drama that's hard to look away from.
