A biographical novel about Lee Krasner, who had an eye for genius and a passion for art.
From the age of fourteen, Lee is determined to make her mark as a painter of significance. For this first-generation American, born to a Jewish family who fled Russian pogroms, overcoming obstacles is in her blood. Gutsy and determined, Lee defies the religious and cultural conventions that would keep her from her goal.
By her late twenties, Lee's artistic innovations win her a commanding position within a community later to be known as Abstract Expressionism, the uniquely American movement that makes New York Citythe center of the Western art world. Her reputation seems assured as her paintings hang alongside those of the European modernists taking the world by storm.
Lee's priorities realign when she falls for Jackson Pollock. Awed by his talent and captivated by his slow smile, she tirelessly promotes the work of the man she believes is America's greatest living artist, even as she pursues her own career.
Despite turbulence and heartache, with Lee's support, Pollock's star reaches phenomenal heights. But not even love saves him from his self-destructive nature.
Alone and heartbroken, Lee finds solace in her art, rising from the ashes of grief to create her most exciting works yetbut in the chauvinistic 1950s, her reputation as Pollock's wife stifles appreciation for her achievements, which may have been forgotten but for the efforts of 1960s feminists determinedly seeking gender equality in the art world.
The Woman Who Painted the Seasons provides a deep and emotional insight into the turbulent life of Lee Krasner, the long-overlooked forerunner of America's Abstract Expressionist movement, and the woman to whom Jackson Pollock owes his success
When Penny is not writing, she enjoys helping her husband on their cattle farm in northern NSW, loving every minute she can spend with their children, grandchildren, friends and family.
