POLLOCK / FELDMAN

"My teacher Wolpe was a Marxist and he felt my music was too esoteric at the time. And he had his studio on a proletarian street, on 14th Street and Sixth Avenue. And at that time I just became involved, I was twenty years old, I became involved with artists in Greenwich Village, all these people. And he was on the second floor and we were looking out the window, and he said, "What about the man on the street?" At that moment he said what about the man on the street, Jackson Pollock was crossing the street. The crazy artist of my generation was crossing the street at that moment." -
