Ovation TV | Jackson Pollock

This OVATION original documentary follows his life, beginning with his Depression-era days working for the WPA through the optimism and Cold War paranoia that laced the 1950s. Pollock's relationships with both Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso are explored. Archival footage, including Hans Namuth's famous cinematic rendering of the artist at work, is coupled with archival photos of Pollock's time, when atom bombs stunned the world, Kerouac addressed the Beat Generation and jazz permeated the airwaves.

How many times can you draw trees and riders on horses?

Now how many times can you reproduce a Pollock?

No body can reproduce a Pollock.

[Devin Papp]

Oh yeah, I'm sorry I don't really know much about Andy Warhol. I just think he's kinda crap.

Who would want to?

[Alexander Higgins]

Pollock started to externalize the human psyche with his style. How do you go further? Has any one gone beyond Pollock? Did pollock only go half way?

[Pete Kilkenny]

paint splashing, yes, dripping paint, that's what it is, but I like it, I like Warhol too, and Picasso, Velasquez, Matisse, Hirst, Caravaggio, Gary Hume, yes I like his paintings very much, I drip painted once when I was at school, it was a very exciting experience, that's when painting is good, when it is exciting, and beautiful, when a painting is beautifully composed, which could be achieved with a painstaking technique or by splashing paint

[Fernando Palomo]

I admire a graffiti artist, so much more than what Pollock was all about.

modern art is just OVERRATED

[MattisSoderstorm]

I dont blame you for that opinion he didnt put alot of effort into his works.

[MattisSoderstorm]

Well he didnt start rich but what im saying is that basically the rich are retarded and theyll believe its art if you say it is.

[Devin Papp]

I'd say he's more innovative than skilled.
