More quotes by Jackson Pollock
The secret of success is… to be fully awake to everything about you.
Jackson Pollock
Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
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 painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.
Jackson Pollock
A man's life is his work his work is his life.
Jackson Pollock

Jackson Pollock
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
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
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
A real friend is someone you say a sentence to and they know ten thousand words behind that sentence.
Jackson Pollock
Something in me knows where I’m going, and - well, painting is a state of being. ... Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
Jackson Pollock
I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
Jackson Pollock
I don't use the accident - 'cause I deny the accident
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
