Yesterday I explained why the work of Lee Krasner is the main source of inspiration and instruction for me. Krasner truly was a genius, in 1957 she started a series of paintings called "Green Earth." This was the first example of environmental art and a precursor to the entire environmental movement. Her paintings from that time were inspired by nature and carried titles like "Gaeia."
"Rose" seeks to evoke the image of a flower emerging from the earth as well as the earth itself, an attempt at incorporating cubism into my work. Besides her husband, Krasner was also influenced by the cubist Marcel Duchamp. Hopefully you will notice Duchamp's influence in the painting presented here.
