Six gatefolds show his vast horizontal works without distortion and a chronology provides a summary of the major events of Pollock’s life.. How did Jackson Pollock become a cult figure for the Beat Generation? And what caused his reputation to continue to soar? This compelling and original Abrams classic, now back in print, locates the artist in the continuum of his times, recreating the social and cultural milieu of New York in the 1940s and 1950s. Pollock’s big, bold canvases are reproduced in five colors to convey the brilliance of his network of tones, his aluminum paint, and his sparkling collage materials. A wealth of comparative photographs that illustrate paintings by artists Pollock admired further explains the work of this complex, tragic, and immeasurably influential figure. With extensive knowledge of Pollock’s habits (much of it gained through interviews), his reading, his conversation, and the exhibitions he visited, the author retraces many of the far-flung sources of Pollock’s work

It is an outstanding survey of an artist who, at his best, achieved moments of absolute brilliance.. "Very, very good" according to Walter E. Churchill. This book has replaced artist books I previously had on my coffee table. I use it frequently for inspiration for my own art
Balanced in his life on the edge of destruction and in his art on that of innovation, Pollock mirrored a chaotic world, one in which humans seemed to have lost control. . From Library Journal The role of art historian as biographer is beset with contradictions, an artist's life and art being neither mutually exclusive nor synonymous. Recommended for all art libraries and large general collections.- Paula Frosch, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New YorkCopyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. Pollock was the major force behind the transfer of avant-garde art from France to the United States and the American idiom in which it was expressed. Less gossipy than Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith's Jackson Pollock ( LJ 8/89), this book treats Pollock's personal life, creative work, and cultural milieu as discrete elements that produce a gradually developing image, not always
