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 (10[1])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. (10[1])That painting, like many others by this artist, is named for a number and year and is (10[1])subtitled Lavender Mist. For 10 points, name this Abstract (10[1])Expressionist whose style of “action painting” (10[2])resulted from his technique of dripping paint onto canvases. ■END■
