Así Es . . . Pollock

In 1956, "Time" magazine referred to Pollock as Jack the Dripper. His iconic paintings stretch out with the generosity and scale of the landscape of America s West where the artist grew up. The cathartic dribbled paint reflected Pollock s troubled mind. This book traces his career and discusses how his loose, individual style was used as a political weapon in the Cold War, representing America as a free, democratic nation. Illustrations simplify the theory and reveal the hidden meaning behind the mesh of painted lines."
