Specialist note

"There is almost too much and yet somehow the pictorial energies are disciplined... by a precise sense of scale. Nothing spills over. There is intensification of effect without dissipation" (G. Baro, quoted in B. Rose, Lee Krasner: A Retrospective, exh. cat., Museum of Fine Arts Houston, 1983, p. 107)
