OverviewAI-generated

Jackson Pollock was an American painter, draftsperson, and printmaker associated with abstract expressionism and action painting. He was born in Cody in 1912 and educated at the Art Students League of New York under Thomas Hart Benton. His notable works include *No. 5, 1948*, *Autumn Rhythm (Number 30)*, and *Blue Poles*. Pollock was sponsored by Peggy Guggenheim and was married to Lee Krasner.

He died in an accidental traffic collision in East Hampton on August 11, 1956. Pollock spoke English and described easel painting as a dying form, noting that modern feeling tended toward the wall picture or mural. His work has been referenced by over one thousand other encyclopedia articles and is described by sources such as UbuWeb.

Quotes

  • As to what I would like to be. It is difficult to say. An Artist of some kind. If nothing else I shall always study the Arts. People have always frightened and bored me, consequently I have been within my own shell and have not accomplished anything materially.
  • I believe easel painting to be a dying form, and the tendency of modern feeling is toward the wall picture or mural..
  • It came into existence because I had to paint it. Any attempt on my part to say something about it, to attempt explanation of the inexplicable, could only destroy it. [1947, on his painting 'She wolf']
  • My painting does not come from the easel. I hardly ever stretch my canvas before painting. I prefer to tack the unstretched canvas to the hard wall or the floor. I need the resistance of a hard surface. On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting. This is akin to the method of the Indian sand painters of the West.
  • When I am in my painting, I am not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a short of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.
  • Technic is the result of a need new needs demand new technics total control denial of the accident States of order organic intensity energy and motion made visible memories arrested in space, human needs and motives acceptance
