Image
A man's life is his work his work is his life.
Jackson Pollock
Image
It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.
Jackson Pollock
Image
A real friend is someone you say a sentence to and they know ten thousand words behind that sentence.
Jackson Pollock
Image
I am doubtful of any talent, so whatever I choose to be, will be accomplished only by long study and work
Jackson Pollock
Image
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
Image
Art is coming face to face with yourself.
Jackson Pollock
Image
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
Jackson Pollock

I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added.

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.

My opinion is that new needs need new techniques. And the modern artists have found new ways and new means of making their statements.

How do you know when you're finished making love?

I do not paint nature. I am nature.
Jackson Pollock
Image
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
Image
A method of painting is a natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.
Jackson Pollock
Image
On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.
Jackson Pollock
Image
I want to express my feelings, not illustrate them.
Jackson Pollock
Image
I don't use the accident - 'cause I deny the accident
Jackson Pollock

Painting is no problem. The problem is what to do when you're not painting.
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.
