Description
1956 bezeichnete das Time Magazine Pollock als "Jack the Dripper". Seine Maltechnik wurde zum Exempel dafür, wie ein individueller Stil als politische Waffe eingesetzt und Amerika als demokratische Nation repräsentiert wurde.Pollock selbst sagte, dass er "aus seinem Bewusstsein heraus" gemalt habe: Die tröpfelnde Farbe spiegelte seinen beunruhigten Verstand wider. Dieses Buch spürt Pollocks Karriere und der Bedeutung sein Werke nach.
