More quotes by 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
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
I am doubtful of any talent, so whatever I choose to be, will be accomplished only by long study and work
Jackson Pollock
I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.
Jackson Pollock
It doesn't matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.
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.

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

A man's life is his work his work is his life.
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
It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.
Jackson Pollock
I don't use the accident - 'cause I deny the accident
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
I do not paint nature. I am nature.
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.
