About this video...
One of the mythic figures of the 1950s, the "cowboy" from Wyoming, Jackson Pollock helped to forge the first great American art movement, Abstract Expressionism. His famous "drip paintings" earned him both notoriety and abuse, and the pressures of newfound celebrity compounded his lifelong struggle with alcoholism, a fight he lost when he died in a car crash at the age of 44. This portrait of Pollock combines archival footage of his life and work with reminiscences from his contemporaries |
