A TRAGIC ICON OF ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM, JACKSON POLLOCK (1912-1956) TOOK INFLUENCES FROM PICASSO AND MEXICAN SURREALISM AND DEVELOPED HIS OWN WAY OF SEEING, INTERPRETING, AND EXPRESSING. THOUGH HIS NAME INEVITABLY CONJURES UP IMAGES OF THE DRIP PAINTINGS FOR WHICH HE IS MOST FAMOUS, THIS TECHNIQUE WAS ONLY DEVELOPED MIDWAY THROUGH HIS CAREER. THE PROGRESSION FROM HIS EARLIER WORK TO HIS FINAL "ACTION" PAINTINGS--A VERITABLE REVOLUTION OF PAINTING AS A CONCEPT--REVEALS THE GENIUS OF THIS TORTURED ARTIST WHOM MANY CALL THE GREATEST MODERN AMERICAN PAINTER.

Jackson Pollock Review,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jackson Pollock (Hardcover)
This is a rehash of much of the same. The color of the images leaves something to be desired and at times, is way off. For an inexpensive book, it's easy reading and gives a few more insights into the life of this very imaginative painter.

5.0 out of 5 stars
#5 has his name in it,
By CTMV "CTMV" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jackson Pollock (Hardcover)
One point that was missed is that Pollock hid his name in his art. Mural spells out Jackson Pollock and #5 shows "Jackson" in yellow/white if you trun it 90 degree's left.
