"Springs": Lee Krasner & Nature in the Abstract

"Painting, for me, when it really 'happens,' is as miraculous as any natural phenomenon-as, say, a lettuce leaf." Although she consistently refused to "explain" the meanings of her works, Lee Krasner often indicated that even her most abstract paintings had ties to nature. I fell in love with this painting during a visit to Washington, DC's National Museum of Women Artists.
