Jason Horejs | Owner, Xanadu Gallery - Host of Xanadu's Virtual Book Club
Xanadu Gallery’s online book club will next meet on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. PDT. Our selection will be Gail Levin’s recent biography of Lee Krasner.
I visited the Cleveland Museum of Art about a year and a half ago and enjoyed their excellent collection of art. The modern galleries included several nice de Koonings, Pollocks and a great Rothko, but my favorite piece from the collection was a mural-sized work by Lee Krasner. I was, of course, familiar with Krasner as Jackson Pollock’s wife, but had never realized what an accomplished artist she was in her own right.
I was pleased when several members of the book club recommended Gail Levin’s book. I read Levin’s masterful biography of Edward Hopper several years ago and consider it to be one of the best-written biographies I have read – I am looking forward to her biography of Krasner and invite you to join the club! Registration and participation are free.

Thanks Jason! I will finally join you all. I think you have given me enough advanced notice . . . Ha ha ha! Ordering the book tonight.
And Jason . . Thanks for everything you do!
Looking forward to finally having time to join in! Also just an FYI, if you have an iPad the book is also available from the iBook store for 9.99 as well.
My birthday is coming up in a few months and this would be perfect for my wife to get. Wish I could join the Webinar but I’m working these days. Jason, doing some things with the paint program. If you get a chance to see some of them let me know what you think when times permits. Thanks for all you do.
