Jackson Pollock : An American Saga

Jackson Pollock, Steven Naifeh, Gregory White Smith

description

Biography of Jackson Pollock by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith. "Based on more than 2,000 interviews with 850 people, Jackson Pollock is the first book to explore the life of a great artist with the psychological depth that marks the best biographies of literary and political figures. In eight years of research, the authors have uncovered previously unknown letters and documents, gained access to medical and psychiatric records, and interviewed scores of the artist's friends and acquaintances whose stories had never been told. They were also the first biographies in twenty years to benefit from the cooperation of Pollock's widow, Lee Krasner. The results of these unprecedented efforts lie before you : a rich, sprawling, landmark biography of one of the most compelling figures in all of American culture; a brilliant, explosive 'portrait of the artist,' intimately detailed, abundantly illustrated (with more than 200 photographs from Pollock's life and work, many of them enver before published, and filled with new information and new insights." -- from interior flap. Includes selected bibliography, notes, and index. Printed in black-and-white.
