Lee Krasner ( 1908 - 1984 ) was an American Abstract Expressionist painter of a Russian Jewish background. She worked in painting, collage, drawing and occasionally mosaics. Often cutting apart her paintings to create collage paintings. Kranser believed " Art Comes from Art ", a conviction that drove six decades of restless experimentation, even while she stepped back from the spotlight to let her husband, artist Jackson Pollock shine. Although her marriage to Pollock sometimes overshadows the influence and value of her artwork, the gestural and expressive works are considered to be some of the most important Abstract paintings of The 20th Century. She is one of the few female artists to have had a retrospective exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Artworks by Krasner are included in the collections of many of the world's most prestigious museums.

Established in 1946, the renowned Marlborough Gallery is one of the most influential and esteemed Post-War art institutions. The 1973 exhibition " Lee Krasner, Large Paintings " was Karsner's second show at Marlborough Gallery, coming five years after her debut " Lee Krasner, Recent Paintings " in 1968.

The artwork " Rising Green " 1972, manifests the painter's longstanding interest in nature-based imagery, its leaflike forms suggesting powerful vegetation. In Springs New York, near East Hampton, Long Island, she pursued a painterly engagement with nature on a large scale, working in the spacious converted barn used previously by her late husband Jackson Pollock, who died in 1956. The verdant shapes here are thrown into relief against a stark lighter ground, which, in turn, asserts its own role in the composition. The work's elongated, Arabesque forms recall the work of Henri Matisse, especially his late collages. Considered by many to be a Modernist masterpiece, " Rising Green " is held in the permanent collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
