..."you just take a deep breath and hope for the best and get into it, and sometimes, as I say, it comes through miraculously".
Couldn't agree more.

a true artist, I'm fascinated by her creative process; as a musician and interior designer, I appreciate her belief that the inspiration and the execution comes TO the artist and shouldn't be questioned or forced - rather is to be accepted, allowed, and held in gratitude. I adore Lee Krasner; thank you for sharing!

she is so utterly charming and bright and empathetic. incredible woman. also this is one of the very rare youtube videos with accurate captions

[peechygoo]

Love her comment that the first approval comes in this form: “this is so good you would not know it was done by a woman”. Ironic that art outlives men / women /gender. Extraordinary art; extraordinary woman!

Super talent and fascinating how the two of them lived under the same roof.

I'm just so appreciative to hear that Lee Krasner can also say, "I don't know."

She's always been one of my favorite artists.

Thanks for the wonderful video, Krasner and her work is worth the discussion. Any discussion not involving her late husband, is even better.

[colinsmith]

Fantastic. A wonderful insight. Thank you.

She is very much like me. As if I was the one speaking. Let it happen again, something will be worked out.

I love her artwork, she was such an amazing artist!! Shame she was over shadowed by Pollock a lot of the time!!

[clubcell]

Can anyone tell which oil paints she’s using?

[rodolfolarrea]

great genios artist … no need the resentment

[andreasraab]

Sie kennt den kreativen Vorgang -- und sich als dessen -- AI.

[florinest]

She certainly referred to what she did as "her practice." That rotten, hackneyed phrase.
