    About this ebook

    This slim, but richly illustrated, biography of Jackson Pollock has stood the test of time since its first publication in 1959. Still a sound, but laudatory, study of all of Pollock’s periods; which are weighed and appreciated in chronological order. Frank O’Hara was a well-known and universally respected poet who was an integral part of the New York artistic scene until his death in 1966.

      Five Poems by Max Jacob

      In the summer of 1935, the young Elizabeth Bishop, only recently graduated from Vassar College, set out on one of her many voyages. This was a trip to France. After a homesick crossing by ship, she spent a month in the small port of Douarnenez, on th

      Not Writing about Cézanne

      Dec 1, 2020

      A FEW YEARS ago, reviewing a show in London of Cézanne’s paintings of cardplayers, I began by saying, “Cézanne, whose work was the touchstone for critical thinking and writing on art for more than a century, cannot be written about any more.” And wen

      Great primer for a quick lesson on the significance, and a brief synopsis, of Pollock's reign as an artists and some very fine criticism written eloquently, delicately, and fascinatingly. This is a book to behold for all of those interested in art. I really liked the way that this was done. Viewing all the paintings, in sequence with how they are mentioned, allows your brain to soak up the artistic theory and articulation like a sponge. A great read, recommended!4.5 stars!

    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

    THROUGH THE YEARS of my acquaintance with Pollock’s work I have absorbed, consciously and unconsciously, many of the insights of artists and friends, a debt which is difficult to acknowledge. I would like, however, to thank those whose help in assembling the present material on Pollock and his work, whether through conversation or critical writings, directly or indirectly, has been so great: Mrs. Lee Krasner Pollock, Clement Greenberg, Harold Rosenberg, James Schuyler, Robert Motherwell, Sam Hunter and Thomas B. Hess, to name only a few. It is to Grace Hartigan that I owe an awareness of certain aspects of Pollock’s genius, and to Larry Rivers a particular appreciation of the beauties of Number 29, 1950.

    The brief chronology is based on those prepared by Sam Hunter for the catalog of the exhibition he directed at the Museum of Modern Art and by Clement Greenberg for Evergreen Review. The bibliography is based on material organized by Bernard Karpel, librarian of the Museum of Modern Art, for European catalogs of the exhibition of Pollock’s work circulated in Europe by the Museum’s International Program.

    Our thanks go also to the many public and private collections through whose kind cooperation we have been able to reproduce the works included in this book.

    "Art is full of things that everyone knows about, of generally acknowledged truths. Although everyone is free to use them, the generally accepted principles have to wait a long time before they find an application. A generally acknowledged truth must wait for a rare piece of luck, a piece of luck that smiles upon it only once in a hundred years, before it can find application. Such a piece of luck was Scriabin. Just as Dostoievsky is not only a novelist and just as Blok is not only a poet, so Scriabin is not only
