No limits, just edges - this is a concise description of Jackson Pollock's work. In his famous action paintings, the artist fully ignores what is conventionally regarded to be the real pictorial space; color and movement virtually break through the prescribed surface of the canvas. Just as fascinating as the large format paintings, with which Pollock was a founding member of Abstract Expressionism, are his drawings - his artworks on paper.

I took this book out of the library to get a good splattering of inspiration. I didn't really read this book, but I did look at the pictures. I wanted to see some Pollocks before going to Venice to see the Peggy Guggenheim museum. In other books I have read that Peggy is generally given credit for discovering Pollock's artistic abilities and for promoting him. In regard to the paintings, this is one of those instances where I am not a big fan of the art, but I love the stories behind it. This is where art history overpowers the canvas, where the written word is more insteresting than the splashes of colour.
