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

[@elizabethmilligan7173]

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!

[@colinsmith3585]

Fantastic. A wonderful insight. Thank you.

[@lorenzodemedici2019]

She was a rock star

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love it!!

[@peechygoo9952]

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!

[@nspector]

Yes, that was Hans Hofmann.

[@joycefroney6162]

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

[@philipwittmann8255]

Amazing. Understated

[@bcielsky5498]

She is my ❤️ Thank God for this extraordinary human 🙏🏻

[@StephenS-2024]

She's always been one of my favorite artists.

[@francoisgouws7288]

Amazing clip!💥

[@bobb1870]

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

[@vanblairs4322]

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

super art 111

[@sjmsutherland]

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

[@tarotandmeditations]

My understanding is that she made that choice and that it is because of her promotion of Jackson’s work that he became as famous as he did.

[@biocykle]

​@@tarotandmeditations That's my understanding of it as well... two great artists, it wasn't a competition

[@rodolfolarrea8493]

great genios artist … no need the resentment

[@fbpliegorrivero8869]

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

[@clubcell4791]

Can anyone tell which oil paints she’s using?

[@tarotandmeditations]

Probably something no longer available.

[@susanrange3479]

They might help help
😊😊😊😊😊

[@andreasraab6056]

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.

[@biocykle]

What would the correct phrase be?
