Biography on Jackson Pollock by Deborah Solomon. "[...] Solomon interviewed two hundred people who knew Pollock and his work for her biography, and she has drawn extensively on Pollock's own writings and other personal papers. She examines Pollock's relationships with his family; Benton; his wife and fellow artist, Lee Krasner; art patron Peggy Guggenheim; critics Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg; and the generation of avant-garde painters with whom Pollock came of age, among them Willem de Kooning, Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko." -- from interior flap.
