Nel frattempo, nella vita di Lee Krasner
Tutta la vita1940s–1950s
Signing “L.K.” instead of a name
She often does not sign her works at all, signs with the gender-neutral initials “L.K.”, or blends her signature into the painting so as not to emphasize that she is a woman and the wife of another painter.
1949
Exhibition “Artists: Man and Wife”
With Pollock she takes part in a group exhibition at the Sidney Janis Gallery as “Mrs. Jackson Pollock”; an ARTnews reviewer writes that such wives “tidy up” their husbands’ styles, turning his unrestrained lines into neat little squares and triangles.
summer 1950
Betty Parsons visits her studio
The gallerist Betty Parsons, visiting The Springs, sees Krasner’s large black-and-white “automatic” figures and offers her a show; by the time of the exhibition the artist has shifted to colour field painting and destroyed these figurative works.
October 1951
Solo exhibition at Betty Parsons Gallery
The show at Betty Parsons’s gallery — by one account her first solo exhibition, by another her first since 1945 — does not pay off commercially and the works sell poorly; Pollock moves to Sidney Janis, and Krasner follows him out of the Parsons gallery.
