Lee Krasner's Struggles with Jackson Pollock's Addiction

Lee Krasner faced immense challenges as she navigated her relationship with Jackson Pollock, particularly his struggles with alcoholism. After Jackson's severe binge-drinking episodes led him to Bellevue Hospital in May 1942, Lee found herself deeply concerned for his well-being while juggling her own burgeoning career as an artist. Despite witnessing the drastic decline in Jackson's health, she remained determined to support him, often taking on the role of caretaker as she pulled him back from the brink. This tumultuous situation put a strain on Lee, who had just begun to gain recognition in the New York art scene, showcasing her work alongside established artists.
