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

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
A man's life is his work his work is his life.
