Did You Know?

Krasner repurposed this large canvas when she painted over an earlier composition that dissatisfied her.

Description

After the death of her husband Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner took over his studio located in a barn on their property. With this expansion of studio space, she began creating large-scale paintings like Celebration, using expansive gestures to express her feelings on canvas.
A horizontally oriented abstract oil painting features energetic brushstrokes in black, red, orange, green, and white. The brushstrokes overlap in both flowing and jagged motions.
