1 comments about Jackson Pollock.
- This book was intended to be a catalogue and commentary of the Jackson Pollack exhibition MOMA hosted in the late sixties. Many of the pieces were lent to the museum for the show, and likewise, the commentaries are borrowed from work that appeared elsewhere, first.
I suppose there is value in compiling copyrighted articles in one place, so I wouldn't downgrade the book for that reason. In fact, different perspectives from different critics may be helpful for the student to appreciate different facets of the author's work. However all we get are bites and bits. Paragraphs are served up, when a five-course meal is called for. All of the plates are very small black and white photos, with the exception of one foldout for an exceptionally long painting. Lest one be tempted to purchase the book for the plates, let me say that these photos can't even begin to convey the the depth and complexity of the originals. My case in point is the one-page plate of "The Deep," which I had the good fortune to be able to view in person at the Smithsonian in 1994. What I remember from that work is a dizzying vortex; the palpable energy in Pollack's work actively sucks one's senses into a downward spiral and creates a genuine sense of falling headfirst into the canvas. There is nothing of the sort created when gazing at a one-page photo of the same work. In addition, the critics' commentaries that are reprinted here seem dry and uninspired. People were obviously still trying to come to grasps with a living master painter. Expressing Pollack demands masterful writing. The journalists of the day either didn't "get it," or weren't up to the challenge of translating the experience into words.
This book is a dry chronological tale of which work was done when, when Pollack was graced with exhibitions during his lifetime, and the life events that weave his story. We are treated to a few photographs of the artist himself, one in his studio, passport photos, at meetings with other painters, and a 1952 portrait by the talented photographer Hans Namuth, which captures Pollack's brooding, thoughtful, coiled energy better than any of the attempted analyses.
