Editorial Review:
NARRATED BY DUSTIN HOFFMAN. Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) shocked the world with his now legendary drip paintings of the late 1950s. This portrait of the maverick painter depicts Pollock's youth in the American West and reaches into the complex mind of the artist whose wildly original paintings altered the course of art history. In rare film footage, Pollock is shown in action: physical and fully focused, he slashes at canvases with a remarkable explosion of color and energy. This award-winning documentary offers penetrating insight into the genius of this century's most provocative painters. This film is part of the STROKES OF GENIUS collection, a six-part series which examines the personal lives and artistic contributions of the principal leaders of the Abstract Expressionist movement.
