Essential Jackson Pollock

Summary: Cliff Notes on Pollack is a good introduction
Review: The author gives us the fundamentals on Pollock, the man, the painter, the influences, the critics, contemporary painters, plus Pollock's wife Lee Krasner and other supporters. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Rating:
Summary: Interesting, but unfortunately, annoying
Review: Um...Like...underline...superficial...as if! This book is cute but it's so simple and silly, it made me feel like I was hearing the story of a great and influential artist, being told by a pretentious poser. The points it covers really are interesting and important but I think this book is a bit annoying.

Summary: Totally great book!
Review: Wow, now I GET what this guy's all about. Who knew? Can't wait to go to New York and see the Pollock exhibition now. It's very cool that he was sometimes so drunk he used the palm of his hand to "sign" his paintings!
