Although the great California modernist Peter Krasnow (1886/7-1979) was revered during his lifetime by a coterie that included Edward Weston, Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, Galka Scheyer, Frederick Sommer, Grace Clements, Lorser Feitelson, Helen Lundeberg, June Wayne, and Jules Langsner, he remained largely out of the public eye, cantankerously resisting publicity or self-promotion while dedicating himself to an artistic ideal. Peter Krasnow: Maverick Modernist surveys his extraordinary skills in each of his three major phases: the early representational paintings and wood carvings, the abstract wood sculptures, and the hard-edged geometric and patterned paintings.
