“I sometimes lose a painting but I have no fear of changes, because a painting has a life of its own.”[80]

Age 38

Around the time of their marriage, Krasner found the farmhouse on Long Island which they rented. Krasner wanted Pollock to leave Manhattan, in order to isolate him from his drinking buddies.

The house, built in 1879, was on the edge of a swamp and had no heat or inside toilet. But Krasner convinced Guggenheim that Pollock would be more productive at that location. She also convinced Guggenheim to loan them the money to obtain the mortgage on the property. Over the years Guggenheim’s relationship with Pollock, Krasner and their art would have dramatic highs and lows. It seems Guggenheim was both generous and exploitative, while Krasner was distrusted yet needed in order to do business with Pollock.
