Nowhere is the complex and destructive painter Jackson Pollock
(1912-1956) revealed with more compassion and insight than in this
exemplary biography. Friedman, a friend of Pollock's and active in
the art world, shows him to be a brilliant man tormented by his
relationship to his family an artist who worked hard through years
of poverty to achieve his controversial painting technique the
first American painter to gain an international reputation for
himself and for what has been variously called Action Painting or
Abstract Expressionism and a man who struggled with alcohol and the
tension between gentleness and violence.Newly illustrated with
seminal Pollock paintings, this book takes the reader inside the
art world of New York during the'40s and'50s, when Action Painting
first emerged. Friedman reveals what it meant to Pollock to
experience the invasion of his studio and of the very act of
painting by the external pressures of shows, reviews, films,
dealers, critics, hostile publicity and how, despite it all,
Pollock created many of the most graceful and powerful paintings
ever made in America.
