The inseparable legacies of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner

The old farmhouse in the hamlet of Springs, N.Y., is easy to miss, if not for the sign for the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center . Here, on the east end of Long Island, is where Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner moved in the winter of 1945. And it was here where the Abstract Expressionists would send a seismic tremor through the art world.
