The Case for Jackson Pollock | The Art Assignment | PBS Digital Studios

This is a great watch. I really liked his work before and after his drip work. Which I loved as a young artist and still at 50.


I just find the other work more interesting and expressive in a way I enjoy more.


"Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. They work from a different source. They Work from within." - Jason Pollock 1950

You’ve heard of Jackson Pollock and know of his infamous “drip paintings,” but what is it that you’re supposed to do when you look at his work today? Why did it cause shockwaves in 1947, and what does it mean now? We explore the life, evolution, and legacy of Jackson Pollock.
