Lee Krasner.LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, also known as LACMA, is the official and world-renowned art museum of the County of Los Angeles, California, located on Wilshire Boulevard along Museum Row in the Miracle Mile vicinity of Los Angeles. Why have there been no great women artists? Lee Krasner makes a posthumous bid with this retrospective look at sixty works, from a ca. 1930 self-portrait to the late-'70s abstractions. Her identity as Pollock's lesser half (she got the bedroom, he got the barn) has of course been rethought by feminist scholars. But did the artist really challenge the macho model of AbEx identity or was she just one of the guys? Either way, Krasner was central to the art world of the '40s and '50s; her painting's place in history is, alas, less certain.
