Catalogue Note

“After a decade of producing very large paintings, Krasner concentrated on small works on paper almost exclusively in 1969. She completed four extensive series of gouaches on coarse-grained, highly absorbent textured paper hand-made by a local artist named Douglas Howell." (Barbara Rose, Lee Krasner: A Retrospective, The Museum of Modern Art, New York: 1983, p. 139)
