A real friend is someone you say a sentence to and they know ten thousand words behind that sentence.
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
Image
I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.
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.

The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
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.

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

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
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
The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.
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
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

A man's life is his work his work is his life.
Jackson Pollock
Image
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
Image
It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.
Jackson Pollock
Image
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
Jackson Pollock
Image
The painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.
