(Nature) Little Image (Lee Krasner)

Lee Krasner, Shattered Color (1947) belongs to her series of “Little Images” from a pivotal point in her artistic practice. You can see this small painting now at the Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I am pairing it with this fall composition at the pollinator meadow in the northernmost corner of Riverside Park. What stands out as “nature” in its terrestrial shape is a corporeal network, an organized array of tight line and light brought to presence in the “all-over” of a frame.
