The Woman Who Painted The Seasons: a biographical novel about Lee Krasner, a determined woman 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. 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 twenties, Lee’s artistic innovations win her a commanding position within a community dedicated to Abstract Expressionism, the uniquely American movement that makes New York the centre of the Western art world. Her reputation seems assured as her paintings hang alongside those of 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 yet—but in the chauvinistic 1950s, her reputation as Pollock’s wife stifles appreciation for her achievements.
Will she forever be denied recognition for her groundbreaking contributions to American art? Or can Lee escape the shackles of Pollock’s legacy and enjoy her own season in the sun?
