Summary

Assembled by one of the curators of the museum's Pollock retrospective, this anthology surveys five decades of critical response to Pollock, bringing together essential (and hard-to-find) texts from newspapers, journals, and catalogues. It includes all of Pollock's statements about his art as well as interviews with his wife, the painter Lee Krasner, providing firsthand testimony about his goals and methods.

Reviews of Pollock's early exhibitions reveal the intense interest his work aroused even before he arrived at his famous technique of "dripping" paint. Later articles trace the growth of Pollock's myth after his death in 1956 and document the continuing debate over psychological and mythological interpretations of Pollock's work.
