More quotes by 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
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
Art is coming face to face with yourself.
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
The painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.
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
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
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
I don't use the accident - 'cause I deny the accident
Jackson Pollock
A real friend is someone you say a sentence to and they know ten thousand words behind that sentence.
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
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
How do you know when you're finished making love?
Jackson Pollock
I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
Jackson Pollock
The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.
Jackson Pollock
He drove his kind of realism at me so hard I bounced right into nonobjective 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.
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.
