Trace the genesis of Jackson Pollocks work in this intimate portrait of the radical twentieth-century artist through the diverse cultural influences that charted his artistic evolution. Jackson Pollocks drip technique paintings are among the most readily recognizable works of modern art, and they launched his career in 1947. But Pollocks earlier works vacillate between figurative references and abstract formal experimentation; they bear witness to diverse sources that nourished the young artists experimentation, including Native American influences, Mexican muralists, European avant-garde artistsnotably Picassoand the Surrealists. Jungian psychoanalysis also left a mark on his art, and this book offers intimate insight into the artists psyche. Through this comprehensive volumeproduced to accompany the exhibition at the Musée National Picasso-Parisreaders will discover how these influences merged to forge Pollocks distinctive and singular artistic voice.
