Known mainly as the "splatter" painter and for his volatile personality, Jackson Pollock was truly a magnificent American artist. His use of color and composition is just amazing.
Many years ago I drove down to Orange County to an exhibit just to see the one Pollock painting they had on display. I was mesmerized. I couldn't look away. Why? I'm not sure. Strangely enough, the person I was with (who had no interest in art whatsoever) felt the exact same way.
If you're interested in finding out more about his life, I highly recommend the 2000, Academy Award winning movie,
Pollock, starring Ed Harris. It's entertaining, inspiring and heartbreaking all at the same time.
This guy's stuff is amazing!!!!!!
