Synopsis
"Is Jackson Pollock the greatest living painter in the United States?" Life magazine asked in 1949. Pollock's large, bold canvases revolutionized the world of art; more than 100 are reproduced here in full color to capture the brilliance of his palette, and six gatefolds show his vast horizontal works without distortion.

Review
"On the floor I am more at ease, I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk around in it, work from the four sides and be literally 'in' the painting."
Synopsis
We may still wonder why the mass-circulation magazines singled Pollock out from his fellow Abstract Expressionists. How did he become a cult figure for the Beat Generation? And what caused his reputation to continue to soar? This compelling and original book locates the man and the artist in the continuum of his times, recreating the social and cultural milieu of New York in the 1940s and 1950s. Pollock's early years are chronicled, from his birth in the Wild West town of Cody, Wyoming, in 1912, through his prophetically troubled school years, marked by repeated expulsions, to his arrival in New York and periods of study with Thomas Hart Benton, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Stanley William Hayter. Key critics who recognized Pollock's achievement, such as Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg, perceptive photographers, such as Hans Namuth and Arnold Newman, whose pictures of Pollock appeared in major publications, and other figures who made up Pollockis world are depicted here vividly and acutely.
