Biography

Summary

With a massive canvas laid out flat on the floor, he would start with one innocuous dribble of paint. By the time he was done, a virtually indescribable festival of design and color had emerged. Jackson Pollock embodied many of the artistic stereotypes. Impetuous and imperious, conceited and prone to despair, he generated an extraordinary output that thrust American painting in a whole new direction. Friends and colleagues chronicle Pollock's unique artistic journey while opening a window into his private life. And visits to famed collections showcase his revolutionary paintings
