by Carolyn Lanchner, Jackson Pollock
This volume presents eleven works selected from the nearly one hundred pieces by American painter Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art (New York City). Pollack was a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. His groundbreaking "drip" paintings of the late 1940s and early 1950s are here, along with early and late works demonstrating the fluid interaction between figuration and abstraction in his art and the direction of his painting at his untimely death. A lively essay by Carolyn Lanchner, a former curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum, accompanies each work, illuminating its significance and placing it in its historical moment in the development of modern art and in Pollock's own life. Survey of important works in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
