HOMAGE TO KRASNER SERIES
A series of small artworks on board based
on research of the Abstract Expressionist
painter Lee Krasner. Between 1953 and
1955 Krasner made bold, graphic, collage
based canvases that embraced a cut-up
style mixed with painting and expressive
brushwork.
After studying Krasner’s life and work, the
artist was particularly drawn to 'Milkweed'
a piece of mixed media work measuring
209.23 x 146.69 cm completed in 1955. In
response to this work, Emma completed a
number of exploratory sketchbook
collages on paper. These were then further
explored resulting in the 9 artworks on
board presented here.
