Great Jewish Artists: Mark …
About This Event
At The Jewish Museum, a program brings together three mid‑20th‑century artists: Lee Krasner, Mark Rothko, and Philip Guston. The lineup underscores Krasner's association with Abstract Expressionism, Rothko's development of painterly color‑field rectangles, and Guston's movement between Renaissance‑influenced figuration, formal abstraction, and later work addressing racism, antisemitism and American identity.
