Pollock Quotes• Every good painter paints
what he is.• The painting has a life of its
own. I try to let it come through.
• It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.

Jackson Pollock• Born & raised in Wyoming (west of US)• Rough sort of fellow; struggled with alcoholism during his
life• Died at age 44 in an alcohol-related car accident (1956)
• He said, “I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them.”
• Created (invented?) the drip style; first American artist to capture public’s imagination; break with European traditions
• Art critics were impressed by Pollack; the public (some) were initially shocked (as in “this is art?”)
