“Number 3 (Untitled)” is an abstract painting created by Lee Krasner in 1951, rendered in oil on a canvas measuring 209 x 146 cm. This work is situated within the Abstract Expressionism movement and is housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork features a series of vertical lines in varying earth tones, including shades of brown, beige, white, and hints of blue. The interplay and layering of these colors create a rhythmic composition that draws the viewer’s eye across the canvas. The lines appear both organic and structured, lending a sense of dynamic tension and movement to the piece. The use of broad, sweeping brushstrokes is characteristic of Abstract Expressionism, emphasizing the emotional intensity and spontaneity of Krasner’s artistic process.
