Whoa! Pollock isn't exactly my aesthetic cup of tea -- I'm more of a Pre-Raphaelite guy -- but this is BIG news.
Did you see the biopic of Pollock starring Ed Harris as the artist?

It was Harris' dream to get the Pollock story to the screen. He was nominated for an Academy Award, and his co-star, Marcia Gay Harden won for best supporting actress

Did you see the biopic of Pollock starring Ed Harris as the artist? What a great and wonderful movie. Jackson Pollack was not some faggy artiste like we're plagued with today. He was a manly man with inner demons. He drank, abused and created. A force of nature. America was squashed down and had nose to the grindstone all during WW2. When the war is over and the pressure released you get an artistic flowering and Jackson Pollock was part of it. I'm not a fan of his art but I appreciate the raw energy and conflict behind it.
