Creative Quotations from Jackson Pollock (1912-1956)

Creative Quotations from . . .

Jackson Pollock
(1912-1956) born on Jan 28

US painter. "He was a leading exponent of Abstract Expressionism and Action Painting; developed the radical "drip painting" technique."

Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.

He drove his kind of realism at me so hard I bounced right into nonobjective painting.

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you.

The method of painting is the natural growth out of a need. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement. . .

Bums are the well-to-do of this day. They didn't have as far to fall.
