More quotes by Jackson Pollock
I am doubtful of any talent, so whatever I choose to be, will be accomplished only by long study and work
Jackson Pollock
How do you know when you're finished making love?
Jackson Pollock
Most of the paint I use is a liquid, flowing kind of paint. The brushes I use are more a sticks rather than brushes – the brush doesn’t touch the surface on the canvas, it’s just above [so] I am able to be more free and to have greater freedom and move about the canvas, with greater ease.
Jackson Pollock
It seems to me that the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture. Each age find its own technique.
Jackson Pollock
New needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements... the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture.

I've been thinking of death a lot, and I am amazed by its inevitability, frightened, as we all are, of the totally unknown, and yet feel a long sleep is somehow earned by those of us who live on the edge.
Jackson Pollock
My opinion is that new needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements.

It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.
Jackson Pollock
The painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.
Jackson Pollock
When I say artist I mean the man who is building things - creating molding the earth - whether it be the plains of the west - or the iron ore of Penn. It's all a big game of construction - some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen.
Jackson Pollock
The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.
Jackson Pollock
When I am painting I have a general notion as to what I am about. I can control the flow of paint: there is no accident.
Jackson Pollock
My concern is with the rhythms of nature I work inside out, like nature.
Jackson Pollock
As to what I would like to be, it is difficult to say. An artist of some kind. If nothing else I shall always study the Arts.
Jackson Pollock
All cultures have had means and techniques of expressing their immediate aims - the Chinese, the Renaissance, all cultures. The thing that interests me is that today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves.
Jackson Pollock
Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.
Jackson Pollock
A man's life is his work his work is his life.
Jackson Pollock
Energy and motion made visible – memories arrested in spaceTechnic is the result of a need new needs demand new technics total control denial of the accident States of order organic intensity energy and motion made visible memories arrested in space, human needs and motives acceptance.
Jackson Pollock
I don't use the accident - 'cause I deny the accident
Jackson Pollock
I do not paint nature. I am nature.
Jackson Pollock
