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.

More quotes by Jackson Pollock
Art is coming face to face with yourself.
Jackson Pollock
I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final 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
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
When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.
Jackson Pollock
I want to express my feelings, not illustrate them.
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
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
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.
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
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
A real friend is someone you say a sentence to and they know ten thousand words behind that sentence.
Jackson Pollock
People have always frightened and bored me consequently I have been within my own shell.
Jackson Pollock
Painting is no problem. The problem is what to do when you're not painting.
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 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
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
Jackson Pollock
The painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.
Jackson Pollock
I don't use the accident - 'cause I deny the accident
Jackson Pollock
The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.
Jackson Pollock
