About Birth
Birth is one of a series of aggressively painted canvases completed soon after Pollock’s death. The paintings in the series share black lines, pink palettes, and Pablo Picasso-influenced female forms. Birth is a large vertical painting containing a strong visceral quality emblematic of Krasner’s mental state at the time; it exudes a palpable sense of distress. The large loose strokes that form the contours of ambiguous body parts, reminiscent of Willem De Kooning, appear to have been painted with tremendous speed. Krasner scratched into the surface of the paint in seemingly erratic lines in the upper right of the canvas. The scratched lines, along with the heavy black lines and drips, impart a tortured quality to the painted surface. The color palette is a jarring contrast of fleshy pinks and deep black and red. Round shapes at the top of the painting suggest mask-like faces and haunting eyes. About the Framed Prints
