Women of the ninth street. Lee Krasner, Helen de Cunga, Grace Hartigan Volume 2

The exciting story of five women whose lives and painting revolutioned in contemporary art.
All artists are in doubt, however, as for the women -creators - over the centuries, this doubt was the result of both creative and social forces.
Mary Gabriel wrote a biography of five art stars: Lee Krasner, Helen de Cunga, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankentalr. This is a chronicle of five women who dared to enter the world of male abstract painting of the twentieth century not as a muse, but as artists. Of the studios with cold water where they worked, drank, fought and loved, they opened the door to the world of art for themselves and countless other women-creators.
Gabriel illuminates the evolution of the movement of abstractionism from the late 1920s to the early 1960s. The prohibitions, crises of the 1930s, the appearance of jazz, the Second World War, when the European intelligentsia left its countries to find a house in New York-all this influenced the work of artists. Given so many shocks, is it worth it to be surprised that art has found new ways to display life?
The second volume covers 1948-1955 and takes to the foreground of the history of Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthal
