Lee Krasner Quotes
Right up until today Pollock her husband and famous painter; died Aug. 1956 well takes a lot of mine time.. ..and while you ask 'How much did it take out of me as a creative artist', I ask simultaneously, 'What did it give?' It is a two-way affair at all times. I would give anything to have someone giving me what I was able to give Pollock.
