Produktbeschreibung
A biographical novel about Lee Krasner, who had an eye for genius and a passion for art.

From the age of fourteen, Lee is determined to make her mark as a painter of significance. For this first-generation American, born to a Jewish family who fled Russian pogroms, overcoming obstacles is in her blood. Gutsy and determined, Lee defies the religious and cultural conventions that would keep her from her goal.

By her late twenties, Lee's artistic innovations earn her a commanding position among fellow artists who paint in a style that becomes known as Abstract Expressionism, the uniquely American movement that establishes New York City as the center of the Western art world. Her reputation seems assured when her paintings are hung alongside those of the European modernists taking the world by storm.

Lee's priorities are realigned when she falls for Jackson Pollock. Awed by his talent and captivated by his slow smile, she tirelessly promotes the work of the man she believes is America's greatest living artist, even as she pursues her own career.

Despite turbulence and heartache, with Lee's support, Pollock's star reaches phenomenal heights. But not even love can save him from his self-destructive nature.

Alone and heartbroken, Lee finds solace in her art, rising from the ashes of grief to create her most exciting works yet. But in the chauvinistic 1950s, her status as Pollock's wife stifles appreciation for her achievements, which might be forgotten if not for the efforts of 1960s feminists who are determined to correct the gender inequality in the art world.

The Woman Who Painted the Seasons offers readers a deep and emotional insight into the turbulent life of Lee Krasner, a long-overlooked vanguard of America's Abstract Expressionist movement, and the woman to whom Jackson Pollock owes his success.
