| Summary |
"With his brooding good looks, mercurial temperament, and tragic early death, Jackson Pollack has become an almost mythical figure. Unfortunately, fascination with the drama of his life has tended to crowd out clearheaded analysis of his work, work that has had a profound impact on the development of contemporary art. This volume presents the first well-balanced overview of both the life and the art and strips away the romanticizing that has obscured them both."--BOOK COVER |
