Great to see Lee Krasner talking about her own work. She is a legendary figure and a great talent.

So enlightening! A true artist who's not afraid to de-conceptualize her work, there's no doubt she's well read and educated about art. I like how she says so freely that she doesn't know where it comes from. Unlike so many contemporary artist who can "exactly" say where their art comes from. A true magnificent artist. Thank you!!

Krasner's masterpieces, including her umber series (e.g. The Eye is the First Circle) deserves its own recognition over and above Pollock's work. A truly talented artist.

I am very happy to have discovered this video of an interview with Lee Krasner ! During this so called ' health' crisis I started to work more and more intuitively just like Lee described her working proces. Just start and look what'll happen, what will present itself. An action reaction process. If it happens to become figurative than let it be so or when it becomes abstract its also fine, but the pure figurative remains secundairy. During this current time of daily mental rape by gov's and their collaborating institutions ( ànd vise versa ) I really NEED to work more intuitively. I NEED to shut down my ratio. It almost functions now as a kind of therapy to be áble to remain sane! So listening to Lee is very helpfull and pleasant in this stage I'm in right now. I hope it makes some sense what I wrote here . Stay safe ( from your gov.) Everybody ! And continu to MAKE and LOVE art !!

Lee was giving the interviewer an extremely good explanation about how her own transition occurred from academia to cubism and then from cubism to "Pollock", and the host didn't even bothered to comprehend the richness of the sentences she was provided with. Not only that, Lee also clearly stated when she mentioned the "I am nature" of Pollock what was all that about, she started as a classical interpreter of nature, then she went to be an abstract interpreter of nature, to later become nature, a creator in the purest of forms (or at least that was her view at the time). I personally think that many of the great masters have at some point thought about themselves as creators, whether if they were a primitive classical interpreter (i.e. Fra Angelico, the first Pantocrators, etc.), a developed classical interpreter, a highly advanced classical interpreter, a primitive abstract interpreter (Monet, maybe?) and so on, but this was a whole other level in which no degree of abstracta was achieved by the artist by becoming an interpreter of an entity within nature but instead an early stage of "pure creation" of an entity within nature. No disrespect intended at all, but the interviewer was too focused on Pollock and Lee managed to gracefully direct the conversation back to her, even the "little images" question was intended to open a discussion to get to know Pollock better than get to know Krasner better, and that's plain rude. I don't know for sure, but even I myself am very "non polite" by cutting this in this way. Probably was something unintentional, but still that speaks volumes about how biased was the art environment even that late at 1978. Beautiful video, thank you.

She's terrible: instead of asking the artist "how long have you been interested in illuminated blablabla" elle m'énerve, she isn't genuinely interested and Krasner was very patient and gracious.

About the most sexist interview. I have seen to date. Interviewer repeatedly trying to tie Lee’s art mastery to men artists. Of course as the wife of Jackson Pollock Lee promoted Jackson’s works. But she stands alone as the great artist she is. And the role she played in starting the abstract expressionism movement.

Agreed, I also believe that the interviewer lodt time asking her questions about other men instead of asking her questions of more profound matters from her own career
