More quotes by Jackson Pollock
A real friend is someone you say a sentence to and they know ten thousand words behind that sentence.
Jackson Pollock
I hardly ever stretch the canvas before painting.
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 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
Art is coming face to face with yourself.
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
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
The pictures I contemplate painting would constitute a halfway state and attempt to point out the direction of the future - without arriving there completely
Jackson Pollock
The painter locks himself out of his own studio. And then has to break in like a thief.
Jackson Pollock
Painting is no problem. The problem is what to do when you're not painting.
Jackson Pollock
He drove his kind of realism at me so hard I bounced right into nonobjective painting.
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
People have always frightened and bored me consequently I have been within my own shell.
Jackson Pollock
When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.
Jackson Pollock
My concern is with the rhythms of nature I work inside out, like nature.
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
I want to express my feelings, not illustrate them.
Jackson Pollock
It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.
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
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.
