[@robinashleyjones12]

Wow! Lee Krasner was a great! draftsperson... and picabia and god. Thanks for the great upload!

[@unbroken1010]

There are many

[@OANNAAS]

Thank you.

[@curiousperson6275]

A nice gallery walkthrough. The Lee Krasner work has considerable depth and range of feeling. She Lee Krasner was a substantial/important artist. So thank you, Kate and James.

[@bluefish4580]

Loved the Lee Krasner show! Thank you James and thank you Kate!..

[@jspaingreene6350]

Thank You Kate! So grateful for what you share and do. Take care!

[@barbarasenglaub1655]

Wonderful videos! Love the work of all of these artists. Thanks James and Kate!

[@rhonnachurch6929]

Fantastic! I am a new fan if this woman. Obviously the location of her husbands inspiration lies at her feet. I am self taught artist and have thrown caution to the wind and i dont have any restrictions on my work because i do not know if any "rules" or trends happening now. I travel along at my own pace finding several inspiring people and topics on your you tube channel to learn more about! Thank you so much for these videos. What a treasure this woman is!

[@conradbo1]

Great and interesting video

[@rodwarner]

Love this! Especially as here in UK we are still in lockdown so no gallery visits. Moving in the street to arrive at the shows makes me imagine the wind in my face. The shows look great, comments interesting, snapshots at speed! Good to see Lee Krasner getting her due. I read Ninth Street Women last year and it’s a wonderful book...

[@dirteeoldmen]

Thanks James

[@slipton6493]

Fabulous work from Lee Krasner! Informative and interesting backstory on Man Ray’s and Picabia’s work. Thank you as always James Kalm!

[@unbroken1010]

They did a lot of work together to help get each other around and picabia is grossly underrated

[@jasonbrooks-studio]

All of it great! Thanks James and Kate!

[@jamesflowers874]

Great one James

[@oscargarcia1646]

Thank you James! Nice to see some interesting shows of dead artists for a change.. Man Ray anti-paintings? Picabia is always a treat & Lee Krasner collage paintings are as fresh as anything being done today. Thanks for making my day & thank you Kate!

[@holdmyhand9573]

Though it was a bit of a rush at the end😟, which couldn't be helped, I so very much enjoyed this. And as always, Thank you James, and Thank you Kate. Much Love

[@purewonka]

Wonderful shows. Thanks.

[@chezceleste]

Thank you Kate

[@jabundis]

Thank you for this! what a great show!! I'm really surprised by how contemporary Man Ray's paintings feel.

[@tomc7376]

Excellent!

Good ride on the bike. Usch a fin exhibition bay Lee Krasner. Her painting has usch energy that remains to this day. Svante Östlund gothenburg sweden. Art is magic

[@gavinyates9189]

Thank you Kate, thank you everybody.

[@artboi8983]

Picabia... so ahead of his time

[@guillermosantamarinalagune6184]

gracias!

[@harperwelch5147]

Great stuff! A bit lean in terms of stranding small paintings on rather big walls. I love the early modernists. Fun to see what abstract expressionism evolved from.

[@lieschenart]

Wow, great to see two of my favourites again, Man Ray and Lee Krasner. I do remember Lee Krasner since the earlier 80's via tree paintings of H.Hofmann. Her show in the Barbican was a great retrospective. But please do not refer to her as the wife of Jackson Pollock, refer to him as the husband of Lee Krasner., because of the "kitchen art", where JP get his ideas for the dripping technique from(as described by Clement Greenberg). Great Video anyway. and as always thank you Kate!

[@johnsteinman4462]

Awesomeness

[@Billart]

I documented several Lee Krasner shows & openings in the 90's at The Robert Miller Gallery in Chelsea & also the Krasner Retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum in 1999 when the Museum also gave permission for me to do dramatic scenes there with both my Krasner & Pollock for My PollockSquared Indie Feature with large cast to finally be released in April 2021 on KZbin & Vimeo. In mine Lee attacks Jackson for his glib responses.

[@hd-xc2lz]

Yes, of course Saint Lee was incapable of a glib remark. Bad Jackson! Selfish Jackson!

[@markpx]

LK's technique of painting large expressionistic splotches on cut/torn paper and canvas reminds me of Frank Stella's later similar approach in his metal sculptures.

[@robertalenrichter]

The face in the third painting resembles that of Andre Breton. Perhaps just a coincidence, but not implausible, given the time and place.

[@unbroken1010]

Damn I think I missed it. I miss Richard was thinking about him today

[@robertalenrichter]

I've often wondered about this -- drawings are usually presented under glass to protect them, but it seems that the Krasner cut-up charcoal drawings as collage are left "raw". If a medium is deemed worthy of protection in one format, why not in another? I suppose the answer is that drawings are just put under plexi because the frame is a convenient way of getting them on the wall. Something like charcoal, though, is vulnerable to even the smallest drop of water or brush of a hand.

[@garycampbell348]

Are these works for sale? What kind of prices? Great reporting, as always!

[@marilynburke7609]

😊❤️

[@hd-xc2lz]

How is Lee Krasner in 2021 an underappreciated artist? It's more like she's famous as "THE underappreciated artist, poor Lee Krasner." She has several gorgeous large paintings presently hanging in MOMA, and if a museum has a Krasner, you can bet it's on view.

[@jameskalmroughcut]

Okay, maybe you've got a point but, if you haven't already read "Ninth Street Women", get your hands on a copy, and check out some of Lee's travails. And, as Lee has been dead for forty years, it's not like this late recognition makes much difference to her now...

[@hd-xc2lz]

@@jameskalmroughcut Except the recent recognition isn't 40 years too late. By the early '70s Krasner received much critical acclaim for her work, apart from her relationship to Pollock, and showed frequently as well as recorded numerous interviews. People forget the huge impact of her mid '70s Pace show, one that influenced much '80s Neo Geo imagery. I find the feminist "Krasner, victim of patriarchy" narrative every bit as reductive as the "Krasner, Action Widow" slight, problem is that the art world has lost all touch with and has no patience for the mindset and approach to abstraction that Krasner and her contemporaries shared.

[@williamsadler6467]

@@hd-xc2lz The art world is losing touch with what constitutes art. Artists are seen more and more as just producers of a commodity to be bought and sold like pork futures.

[@hd-xc2lz]

@@williamsadler6467 So true. When I first moved to NYC back in the '90s, I worked in art shipping, and we would deliver flat works to suburban mcmansions with 2K sq.ft high ceilinged basements, bank vault level security, and with the art stacked vertically and horizontally, uncrated, waiting for expected price increases. Little different from wine collecting. We were never asked to uncrate for such buyers.

[@stephenkutos6400]

I'm not so sure Miss Krasner was involved in promoting her husband, but rather quit her work to prop him up...literally. She certainly was a more than competent artist and her work was very engaging, right up there with anyone.

[@johnlewis9650]

The older Picabia and Man Ray paintings are very dark toned. Do you think they looked like that originally?

[@jameskalmroughcut]

I think the Man Ray paintings are pretty much straight painting, so they probably haven't changed that much. The Picacias are weird, He'd use strange concoctions of varnish, oils, solvents, and then aged or heated the paintings to make them look old or as if they'd been stored in some ancient grotto for centuries...

[@GenerateGoodInformation]

I used to love high art and this program; now it's all heavy breathing. Hope everything is OK. Sad for the state we're in.

[@lingodingo1178]

Interesting fact. Dada in old hebrew means thissle, a spikey weed, painful if stepped on. Denoting a cursed ground.

[@jameswarhol442]

I don't see this show as LK " finally getting attention." I think she'e been fairly well known since her show at MOMA (1985). One big issue might be her output- I believe she only produce abut 600 works in her lifetime, apparently destroying a lot of her paintings in the 1940's and 50s. You can't market something if there's not that much to sell. The other thing was that her style was neither cubist nor expressionistic. You know a Warhol and a Pollock and Basquiat when you see one, but LK, not so much. The art market really didn't blow up until after her death so not surprising she might have the appearance of being under the radar to some. Also just projection on my part, but had she branched out into other mediums like sculpture, photography, print making, film, etc she may have been better assimilated into the contempo art scene of the 50s to 80s.

[@guyporter6105]

She wasn't just a little old lady James she was a seasoned and fabulous artist . There is no just little old men in the art world , myself included let's agree there are some stale old phrases that could be eliminated from the rhetoric. Sorry I just need to call it in defence of women artist

[@jhb61249]

Is the term "art movements" synonymous to the term "fashion trends". One day you are in, the next you are out! Thanks.

[@jimhresco1728]

It appears that way with everything since people crave the latest "wow" factor. Sports cards that had fallen flat decades ago are now fetching absurdly high prices. Now crypto art is also getting crazy prices. Everyone is constantly reinventing and relabeling everything to make it more saleable.

[@dougthoms8958]

"Strange coagulations" indeed. Picabia is fascinating.

[@unbroken1010]

Very underrated he was way ahead of his time

No I get that. Just meant you had to cut it short and it is an amazing show

[@carolineyates1379]

Shame the gallery was’looking funny at you’. What a superb show

[@jameskalmroughcut]

It was just that they'd been gracious enough to let me in, after closing time, and then I'm taking more time than they thought, and so they let more folks in...They just wanted to go home after work.

[@guyporter6105]

Lee krasners work is amazing , shame it's taken so long to be appreciated

[@charlestaylor6279]

Boring ............................ Same old Same old. Nothing to lift the spirit in one. Yesterday I painted a huge canvas of a tropical beach, waves gently breaking on the lemon yellow sand and leaving a darker mark where the water has just managed to reach. Beautiful clear blue sky. A few tall palm trees. I get the urge to take a deep breath of fresh air every time I look at it. Yes I know I'm blowing my own trumpet, but what the hell. Nobody else does. I wonder why ? Maybe there's no money in it. I live on a beautiful clean beach with yellow sand here in Thailand, so it's should not be a novelty but this painting I've just completed does have that effect on me. Nobody, only myself has seen it yet. On the other hand I've received another commission to paint in oils a butcher's shop from an old photograph taken about 1925, that's 95 years ago. Really depressing to look at. There's about 25 carcasses hung up and arranged like decorations and five or six pig's heads on hooks along with numerous skinned chickens. The owner of the shop are all standing to attention in front of all this dead meat, looking very pleased with themselves. How anyone can get up every morning and start killing and cutting up animals day after day I'll never know. Yet even now here in the 21st century people are doing exactly that. No, I'm not a vegetarian and yes I suppose I'm a hypocrite. But I bet many of us would be vegetarians, including myself if we had to kill all the animals ourselves Anyway I live in hopes that one day we'll see really good stuff from New York. You know the kind that has that "Wow Factor" I'm not holding my breath though. Chris in Thailand ....................... as if you didn't know !

[@jhb61249]

I do red barn paintings and the animals are alive and breathing but the manure is not easy to tolerate.

[@charlestaylor6279]

@@jhb61249 Well James at least they are still alive. But you're right it's not a nice smell. It's called "dung" in the UK Did you know that in the middle ages the so called doctors used to place fresh dung over open wounds to help the wound to heal. How they ever got that crazy idea I'll never know. It's strange that most of the New York art we see here never has many accurate paintings of people or animals. It's almost if most of the artists in New York can't draw people or animals Personally I like to paint scenes full of detail. People interacting with each other. Showing their emotions, their facial expressions and their body language. But I also do horses, cats, dogs, birds .......... you name it and I can paint it. Do you sell most of your work ? Where are you located. I'm on the other side of the Pacific in Thailand I'm constantly amazed at the requests I get from expats over here in Thailand. A few months ago I did a portrait of Margaret Thatcher for a Brit living 100 miles away north of Bangkok. He came to collect it the same day I told him it was finished. Many hated her when she was Prime Minister. And some were dancing in the streets when she died. Yet this guy wanted an oil painting of her on his lounge wall. There's nowt so queer as folk.
