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.

More quotes by Jackson Pollock
The painting has a life of its own
Jackson Pollock
I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.
Jackson Pollock
A man's life is his work his work is his life.
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
My concern is with the rhythms of nature I work inside out, like nature.
Jackson Pollock
The painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.
Jackson Pollock
The process is only a means to an end-creating the painting I want. It doesn't mean anything itself. It's only a way of creating a result.
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
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
I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
Jackson Pollock
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
Jackson Pollock
When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.
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.
Jackson Pollock
The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.
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.
Jackson Pollock
Painting is no problem. The problem is what to do when you're not painting.
Jackson Pollock
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
I want to express my feelings, not illustrate them.
Jackson Pollock
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
Jackson Pollock
I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. But when you're painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge.
Jackson Pollock
