More quotes by 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
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
Jackson Pollock
How do you know when you're finished making love?
Jackson Pollock
The painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.
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 don't use the accident - 'cause I deny the accident
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
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.
Jackson Pollock
The pictures I contemplate painting would constitute a halfway state and attempt to point out the direction of the future - without arriving there completely
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
A man's life is his work his work is his life.
Jackson Pollock
When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.
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
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
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
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
Painting is no problem. The problem is what to do when you're not painting.
Jackson Pollock
My concern is with the rhythms of nature I work inside out, like nature.
Jackson Pollock
The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
Jackson Pollock
The painting has a life of its own
