Question
Marcel Duchamp suggested that this artist paint a large mural scene simply known as Mural on canvas instead of the walls of a New York City townhouse. That work commissioned by Peggy Guggenheim led art critic Clement Greenberg to champion this artist. Hans Namuth took many photos of this artist, who included two handprints in the top right corner of a work that this artist’s wife Lee Krasner helped influence. That painting, like many others by this artist, is named for a number and year and is subtitled Lavender Mist. For 10 points, name this Abstract Expressionist whose style of “action painting” resulted from his technique of dripping paint onto canvases. ■END■
