Reading 'Ninth Street Women' by Mary Gabriel and I've reached the point where things are happening, both for Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock. While living out in the sticks at Springs, Krasner worked on two mosaic table tops which incidentally led to a breakthrough in her approach to painting, which had been going nowhere for years. 'Noon', which she knew at the time to be a good painting, was seen by visitor Clem Greenberg whose immediate response was, 'That's hot. It's cookin'. Lee admitted, 'It took very little feedback to sustain me,' and she would ride high for years on that offhand remark.
