5.0 out of 5 stars Cliff Notes on Pollack is a good introduction
The author gives us the fundamentals on Pollock, the man, the painter, the influences, the critics, contemporary painters, plus Pollock's wife Lee Krasner and other supporters. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but unfortunately, annoying
Um...Like...underline...superficial...as if! This book is cute but it's so simple and silly, it made me feel like I was hearing the story of a great and influential artist, being told by a pretentious poser. The points it covers really are interesting and important but I think this book is a bit annoying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches and Entertains!, February 16, 1999
By A Customer
This book is a great first step in learning about the artist's life and understanding his work. It is a quick read, and you will learn much about Pollock and how his style was developed without overloading you on unneccessary detail. Um...Like...Buy The Book!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally great book!, November 24, 1998
By A Customer
Wow, now I GET what this guy's all about. Who knew? Can't wait to go to New York and see the Pollock exhibition now. It's very cool that he was sometimes so drunk he used the palm of his hand to "sign" his paintings!
