Paul Jackson Pollock
(January 28, 1912 – August 11,
1956), known professionally as
Jackson Pollock, was an American
painter and a major figure in the
abstract expressionist movement.
He was well known for his unique
style of drip painting.
During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed
considerable fame and notoriety;
he was a major artist of his
generation. Regarded as reclusive,
he had a volatile personality, and
struggled with alcoholism for most
of his life. In 1945, he married the
artist Lee Krasner, who became an
important influence on his career
and on his legacy.
Pollock died at the age of 44 in an
alcohol-related single-car accident
when he was driving. In December
1956, four months after his death,
Pollock was given a memorial
retrospective exhibition at the
Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
in New York City. A larger, more
comprehensive exhibition of his
work was held there in 1967. In
1998 and 1999, his work was
honored with large-scale
retrospective exhibitions at
MoMA and at The Tate in London.
Early life
Pollock was born in Cody,
Wyoming, in 1912, the youngest of
five sons. His parents, Stella May
(née McClure) and LeRoy Pollock,
were born and grew up in Tingley,
Iowa and were educated at Tingley
High School. Pollock's mother is
interred at Tingley Cemetery,
Ringgold County, Iowa. His father
had been born with the surname
McCoy, but took the surname of his
adoptive parents, neighbors who
adopted him after his own parents
had died within a year of each
other. Stella and LeRoy Pollock
were Presbyterian; they were of
Irish and Scots-Irish descent,
respectively.LeRoy Pollock was a
farmer and later a land surveyor for
the government, moving for
different jobs.Stella proud of her
family's heritage as weavers made
and sold dresses as a teenager. In
November 1912, Stella took her
sons to San Diego, Jackson was just
10 months old and would never
return to Cody. He subsequently
grew up in Arizona and Chico,
California.
While living in Echo Park,
California, he enrolled at Los
Angeles' Manual Arts High School,
from which he was expelled. He
had already been expelled in 1928
from another high school. During
his early life, Pollock explored
Native American culture while on
surveying trips with his father.
In 1930, following his older
brother Charles Pollock, he moved
to New York City, where they both
studied under
Thomas Hart Benton at the Art
Students League. Benton's rural
American subject matter had little
influence on Pollock's work,
but his rhythmic use of paint and
his fierce independence
were more lasting.In the early
1930s, Pollock spent a summer
touring the Western United States
together with Glen Rounds, a
fellow art student, and Benton,
their teacher.
From 1938 to 1942, during the
Great Depression, Pollock worked
for the WPA Federal Art Project.
Trying to deal with his established
alcoholism, from 1938 through
1941 Pollock underwent Jungian
psychotherapy with Dr. Joseph
Henderson and later with Dr. Violet
Staub de Laszlo in 1941–42.
Henderson engaged him through
his art, encouraging Pollock to
make drawings. Jungian concepts
and archetypes were expressed in
his paintings.Recently, historians
have hypothesized that Pollock
might have had bipolar disorder.
Early career and technique
Pollock signed a gallery contract
with Peggy Guggenheim in July
1943. He received the commission
to create Mural (1943), which
measures roughly 8 feet tall by 20
feet long,for the entry to her new
townhouse. At the suggestion of
her friend and advisor Marcel
Duchamp, Pollock painted the work
on canvas, rather than the wall, so
that it would be portable. After
seeing the big mural, the art critic
Clement Greenberg wrote: "I took
one look at it and I thought, 'Now
that's great art,' and I knew Jackson
was the greatest painter this
country had produced."The catalog
introducing his first exhibition
described Pollock's talent as
"volcanic. It has fire. It is
unpredictable. It is undisciplined. It
spills out of itself in a mineral
prodigality, not yet crystallized."

Relationship with Lee Krasner
The two artists met while they
both exhibited at the McMillen
Gallery in 1942. Krasner was
unfamiliar but yet intrigued with
Pollock's work and went to his
apartment, unannounced, to meet
him following the gallery. In
October 1945, Pollock and Lee
Krasner were married in a church
with two witnesses present for the
event. In November, they moved
out of the city to the Springs area
of East Hampton on the south
shore of Long Island. With the help
of a down-payment loan from
Peggy Guggenheim, they bought a
wood-frame house and barn at
830 Springs Fireplace Road.
Pollock converted the barn into a
studio. In that space, he perfected
his big "drip" technique of working
with paint, with which he would
become permanently identified.
When the couple
found themselves free from work
they enjoyed spending their time
together cooking and baking,
working on the house and garden,
and entertaining friends.
Artistic life
Pollock was introduced to the use
of liquid paint in 1936 at an
experimental workshop in New
York City by the Mexican muralist
David Alfaro Siqueiros. He later
used paint pouring as one of
several techniques on canvases of
the early 1940s, such as Male and
Female and Composition with
Pouring I. After his move to Springs,
he began painting with his canvases
laid out on the studio floor, and he
developed what was later called his
"drip" technique.
He started using synthetic resin-
based paints called alkyd enamels,
which, at that time, was a novel
medium. Pollock described this use
of household paints, instead of
artist’s paints, as "a natural growth
out of a need". He used hardened
brushes, sticks, and even basting
syringes as paint applicators.
Pollock's technique of pouring and
dripping paint is thought to be one
of the origins of the term action
painting. With this technique,
Pollock was able to achieve a more
immediate means of creating art,
the paint now literally flowing from
his chosen tool onto the canvas. By
defying the convention of painting
on an upright surface, he added a
new dimension by being able to
view and apply paint to his
canvases from all directions.A
possible influence on Pollock was
the work of the Ukrainian
American artist Janet Sobel
(1894–1968) (born Jennie
Lechovsky). Peggy Guggenheim
included Sobel's
work in her The Art of
This Century Gallery in 1945.
With Jackson Pollock, the critic
Clement Greenberg saw Sobel's
work there in 1946. In his essay
"American-Type Painting,"
Greenberg noted those works
were the first of all-over painting
he had seen, and said, "Pollock
admitted that these pictures had
made an impression on him".
While painting this way, Pollock
moved away from figurative
representation, and challenged
the Western tradition of
using easel and brush. He used
the force of his whole body to
paint, which was expressed on the
large canvases. In 1956, Time
magazine dubbed Pollock "Jack the
Dripper", due to his painting style.
My painting does not come from
the easel. I prefer to tack the
unstretched canvas to the hard
wall or the floor. I need the
resistance of a hard surface. On the
floor I am more at ease. I feel
nearer, more part of the painting,
since this way I can walk around it,
work from the four sides and
literally be in the painting.
I continue to get further away from
the usual painter's tools such as
easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer
sticks, trowels, knives and dripping
fluid paint or a heavy impasto with
sand, broken glass or other foreign
matter added.
When I am in my painting, I'm not
aware of what I'm doing. It is only
after a sort of 'get acquainted'
period that I see what I have been
about. I have no fear of making
changes, destroying the image, etc.,
because the painting has a life of its
own. I try to let it come through. It
is only when I lose contact with the
painting that the result is a mess.
Otherwise there is pure harmony,
an easy give and take, and the
painting comes out well.
—Jackson Pollock, My Painting,
1956
Pollock observed American Indian
sandpainting demonstrations in the
1940s. Referring to his style of
painting on the floor, Pollock
stated,
“I feel nearer, more a part of the
painting, since this way I can walk
round it,
work from the four sides and
literally be in the painting. This is
akin to the methods of the Indian
sand painters of the West.” Other
influences on his drip technique
include the Mexican muralists and
Surrealist automatism. Pollock
denied reliance on "the accident";
he usually had an idea of how he
wanted a particular piece to
appear. His technique combined
the movement of his body, over
which he had control, the viscous
flow of paint, the force of gravity,
and the absorption of paint into
the canvas. It was a mixture of
controllable and uncontrollable
factors. Flinging, dripping, pouring,
and spattering, he would move
energetically around the canvas,
almost as if in a dance, and would
not stop until he saw what he
wanted to see. As
In 1950, Hans Namuth, a young
photographer, wanted to take
pictures (both stills and moving) of
Pollock at work. Pollock promised
to start a new painting especially
for the photographic session, but
when Namuth arrived, Pollock
apologized and told him the
painting was finished.
Namuth said that when he entered
the studio:
A dripping wet canvas covered the
entire floor … There was complete
silence … Pollock looked at the
painting. Then, unexpectedly, he
picked up can and paint brush and
started to move around the canvas.
It was as if he suddenly realized the
painting was not finished. His
movements, slow at first, gradually
became faster and more dance like
as he flung black, white, and rust
colored paint onto the canvas. He
completely forgot that Lee and I
were there; he did not seem to
hear the click of the camera shutter
… My photography session lasted as
long as he kept painting, perhaps
half an hour. In all that time,
Pollock did not stop. How could one
keep up this level of activity?
Finally, he said 'This is it.'
Pollock’s finest paintings… reveal
that his all-over line does not give
rise to positive or negative areas:
we are not made to feel that one
part of the canvas demands to be
read as figure, whether abstract or
representational, against another
part of the canvas read as ground.
There is not inside or outside to Pollock’s line or the space through
which it moves…. Pollock has managed to free line not only from its
function of representing objects in the world, but also from its task of
describing or bounding shapes or figures, whether abstract or
representational, on the surface of the canvas.
Fractal Expressionism
In 1999, physicist-artist Richard
Taylor used computer analysis to
show similarities between
Pollock's painted patterns and
fractals (patterns that recur on
multiple
size scales) found in natural
scenery,reflecting Pollock’s own
words “I am Nature.” His research
team labelled Pollock's style
Fractal
Expressionism.Subsequently, over
10 scientific groups have
performed fractal analysis on over
50 of Pollock's works. In 2005,
fractal analysis was used for the
first time in an authenticity dispute
stirring controversy.A recent study
which used fractal analysis as one
of its techniques achieved a 93%
success rate distinguishing real
from fake Pollocks.Current
research of Fractal Expressionism
focuses on human response to
viewing fractals. Cognitive
neuroscientists have shown that
Pollock’s fractals induce the same
stress-reduction in observers as
computer-generated fractals and
Nature's fractals.1950s
Pollock's most famous paintings
were made during the "drip period"
between 1947 and 1950. He
rocketed to fame following an
August 8, 1949 four-page spread in
Life magazine that asked, "Is he the
greatest living painter in the United
States?" At the peak of his fame,
Pollock abruptly abandoned the
drip style.
Pollock's work after 1951 was
darker in color, including a
collection painted in black on
unprimed canvases. These
paintings have been referred to as
his 'Black pourings' and when he
exhibited them at the Betty Parsons
Gallery in New York none of them
sold. Parsons later sold one to a
friend at half the price. The
departure from his earlier style
wasn't what his collectors wanted.
Although these works show Pollock
attempting to find a balance
between abstraction and depictions
of the figure.
He later returned to using color and
continued with figurative
elements.During this period,
Pollock had moved to a more
commercial gallery; the demand for
his work from collectors was great.
In response to this pressure, along
with personal frustration, his
alcoholism deepened.
From naming to numbering
Continuing to evade the viewer's
search for figurative elements
in his paintings, Pollock a
bandoned titles and started
numbering his works. He said a
bout this: "...look
passively and try to receive
what the
painting has to offer and not bring
a subject matter or preconceived
idea of what they are to be looking
for." Pollock's wife, Lee Krasner,
said Pollock "used to give his
pictures conventional titles... but
now he simply numbers them.
Numbers are neutral. They make
people look at a picture for what it
is—pure painting."
Krasner's Influence
Lee Krasner's influence on her
husband's art was something
critics began to reassess by the
later half of the 1960s due to the
rise of feminism at the
time.Krasner's extensive
knowledge and training in modern
art and techniques helped her
bring Pollock up to date with what
contemporary art should be.
Krasner was often considered to
learn her husband in the dominant
tenants of modernistic
painting.Pollock was then able to
change his style to fit a more
organized and cosmopolitan genre
of modern art, Krasner became the
one judge he could trust.At the
beginning of the two artists'
marriage, Pollock would entrust his
counterpart's opinions on what
worked and what did not in his
pieces.Lee Krasner was also
responsible for introducing him to
many collectors, critics, and artists,
including Herbert Matters, who
would help further his career as an
emerging artist. John Bernard
Myers, a noted art dealer, was once
quoted to say that "there would
never have been a Jackson Pollock
without a Lee Pollock", whereas
Fritz Bultman, a fellow painter, had
referred to Pollock as Krasner's
"creation, her Frankenstein", both
men recognizing the immense
impact Krasner had on Pollock's
career.
Later years and death

In 1955, Pollock painted Scent and
Search, his last two paintings.He
did not paint at all in 1956, but was
making sculptures at
Tony Smith’s home: constructions of wire, gauze, and plaster.Shaped by
sand-casting, they have heavily textured surfaces similar to what
Pollock often created in his paintings.
Pollock and Krasner's relationship began to crumble by 1956 due to
Pollock's continuing struggle with alcoholism and infidelity involving
Ruth Kligman.On August 11, 1956, at 10:15 pm, Pollock died in a single-
car crash in his Oldsmobile convertible while driving under the
influence of alcohol. At the time Krasner was visiting friends in Europe
and she abruptly returned on hearing the news from a friend.[64] One
of the passengers, Edith Metzger, was also killed in the accident, which
occurred less than a mile from Pollock's home. The other passenger,
Ruth Kligman, an artist and Pollock's mistr

Kaveh Golestan
who has died
aged 52, was a distinguished
Iranian photojournalist; he was
killed on Wednesday by
a landmine near Kifri, a town
in the southern part of Iraqi
Kurdistan, where he was covering
the war for BBC Television.
Golestan was working with Jim
Muir, the BBC (and former Daily
Telegraph) correspondent, and
their producer Stuart Hughes. At
lunchtime on Wednesday they
were investigating an abandoned
Iraqi fort. As they stepped from
their car, first Hughes and then
Golestan trod on mines.
Hughes is recovering from a foot
injury at the American military
hospital in Soleymanieh, but
Golestan was instantly killed.
He was a veteran of numerous
conflicts, including the Troubles in
Belfast, the Iranian Revolution,
the Iran-Iraq war - during which
he
won a Pulitzer Prize while
reporting on Saddam Hussein's
chemical attacks on the Kurds in
1988 - and the uprisings that
followed the first Gulf war. He had
been a freelance for the BBC since
the early 1990s, and a contract
cameraman since 2000.
Kaveh Ibrahim Golestan was born in
Teheran on July 7 1950. His
grandfather had edited a daily
newspaper in Isfahan, and his
father was a journalist and film-
maker who made a small fortune
with a documentary about
submarine security for oil pipelines,
which was sold to oil companies
around the world.
Young Kaveh was educated at
Raveh-e-Now, a school in Teheran,
and made his first film, An Autumn
(inspired by his father's film, A Fire,
which won a prize at the Venice
Film Festival), at the age of 11. Two
years later he was sent to Millfield,
Somerset, which he found
repressive. He formed a pop group
there, and, after the headmaster
confiscated a recording they had
made, he left the school and
hitchhiked home to Teheran.
16
Golestan worked for a while as a
musician and painter; but when
his father's studio was shut down
by Savak (the Shah's secret police)
he decided to become a journalist.
After a stint in Belfast he returned
to Teheran, where he worked for
Associated Press and Time
magazine. In the early 1980s he
was employed at the London
office of Time-Life, but was drawn
back to Iran by the prospect of
covering the war with Iraq.
In March 1988 Golestan was
outside the northern Kurdish
town of Halabja when Iraqi MiG-
26s launched the biggest chemical
attack on a civilian population in
history, deploying a cocktail of
mustard gas and the nerve agents
sarin, tabun and VX. "It was life
frozen," he recalled. "Life had
stopped, like watching a film and
suddenly it hangs on one frame. It
was a new kind of death to me. You
went into a kitchen and you saw
the body of a woman holding a
knife where she had been chopping
a carrot.
"The aftermath was worse. Victims
were still being brought in. Some
villagers came to our chopper. They
had 15 or 16 beautiful children,
begging us to take them to hospital.
So all the press sat there, and we
were each handed a child to carry.
As we took off, fluid came out of
my little girl's mouth, and she died
in my arms."
He married, in 1975, Hengameh
(which in Persian means
"Revolution") Jalali, a fellow-
photographer, who survives him;
they had a son, Mehrak, who is
now 19 and has followed his father
into journalism.
Lili Golestan
Born 1944 After her secondary
school, Lili Golestan left for Paris
and studied dress and textile
design at the decorative art
institute of Paris and the same
time attended classes on world art
history and French litrature at 'La
Sorbonne'. While in paris, she also
participated in pottery classes.
After four years living and studying
in paris, she came back to Iran and
took up a job as a textile designer
at the moghaddam textile factory.
Later she joined the iranian
national television as a dress
designer for various TV shows .
She later became the head of
children 's TV program.
She quit her TV job after 7 years
and published her first translation
of a novel in 1967:"Life, War and
then nothing" by Oriana Fallaci.The
book recieved and encouraged her
to translate more novels. She has
since published more than twenty
books as follows:

  • 4. Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956), known professionally as Jackson Pollock, was an American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. He was well known for his unique style of drip painting. During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety; he was a major artist of his generation. Regarded as reclusive, he had a volatile personality, and struggled with alcoholism for most of his life. In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy. Pollock died at the age of 44 in an alcohol-related single-car accident when he was driving. In December 1956, four months after his death, Pollock was given a memorial retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. A larger, more comprehensive exhibition of his work was held there in 1967. In 1998 and 1999, his work was honored with large-scale retrospective exhibitions at MoMA and at The Tate in London. Early life Pollock was born in Cody, Wyoming, in 1912, the youngest of five sons. His parents, Stella May (née McClure) and LeRoy Pollock, were born and grew up in Tingley, Iowa and were educated at Tingley High School. Pollock's mother is interred at Tingley Cemetery, Ringgold County, Iowa. His father had been born with the surname McCoy, but took the surname of his adoptive parents, neighbors who adopted him after his own parents had died within a year of each other. Stella and LeRoy Pollock were Presbyterian; they were of Irish and Scots-Irish descent, respectively.LeRoy Pollock was a farmer and later a land surveyor for the government, moving for different jobs.Stella proud of her family's heritage as weavers made and sold dresses as a teenager. In November 1912, Stella took her sons to San Diego, Jackson was just 10 months old and would never return to Cody. He subsequently grew up in Arizona and Chico, California.
  • 5. While living in Echo Park, California, he enrolled at Los Angeles' Manual Arts High School, from which he was expelled. He had already been expelled in 1928 from another high school. During his early life, Pollock explored Native American culture while on surveying trips with his father. In 1930, following his older brother Charles Pollock, he moved to New York City, where they both studied under Thomas Hart Benton at the Art Students League. Benton's rural American subject matter had little influence on Pollock's work, but his rhythmic use of paint and his fierce independence were more lasting.In the early 1930s, Pollock spent a summer touring the Western United States together with Glen Rounds, a fellow art student, and Benton, their teacher. From 1938 to 1942, during the Great Depression, Pollock worked for the WPA Federal Art Project. Trying to deal with his established alcoholism, from 1938 through 1941 Pollock underwent Jungian psychotherapy with Dr. Joseph Henderson and later with Dr. Violet Staub de Laszlo in 1941–42. Henderson engaged him through his art, encouraging Pollock to make drawings. Jungian concepts and archetypes were expressed in his paintings.Recently, historians have hypothesized that Pollock might have had bipolar disorder. Early career and technique Pollock signed a gallery contract with Peggy Guggenheim in July 1943. He received the commission to create Mural (1943), which measures roughly 8 feet tall by 20 feet long,for the entry to her new townhouse. At the suggestion of her friend and advisor Marcel Duchamp, Pollock painted the work on canvas, rather than the wall, so that it would be portable. After seeing the big mural, the art critic Clement Greenberg wrote: "I took one look at it and I thought, 'Now that's great art,' and I knew Jackson was the greatest painter this country had produced."The catalog introducing his first exhibition described Pollock's talent as "volcanic. It has fire. It is unpredictable. It is undisciplined. It spills out of itself in a mineral prodigality, not yet crystallized."
  • 7. Relationship with Lee Krasner The two artists met while they both exhibited at the McMillen Gallery in 1942. Krasner was unfamiliar but yet intrigued with Pollock's work and went to his apartment, unannounced, to meet him following the gallery. In October 1945, Pollock and Lee Krasner were married in a church with two witnesses present for the event. In November, they moved out of the city to the Springs area of East Hampton on the south shore of Long Island. With the help of a down-payment loan from Peggy Guggenheim, they bought a wood-frame house and barn at 830 Springs Fireplace Road. Pollock converted the barn into a studio. In that space, he perfected his big "drip" technique of working with paint, with which he would become permanently identified. When the couple found themselves free from work they enjoyed spending their time together cooking and baking, working on the house and garden, and entertaining friends. Artistic life Pollock was introduced to the use of liquid paint in 1936 at an experimental workshop in New York City by the Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros. He later used paint pouring as one of several techniques on canvases of the early 1940s, such as Male and Female and Composition with Pouring I. After his move to Springs, he began painting with his canvases laid out on the studio floor, and he developed what was later called his "drip" technique. He started using synthetic resin- based paints called alkyd enamels, which, at that time, was a novel medium. Pollock described this use of household paints, instead of artist’s paints, as "a natural growth out of a need". He used hardened brushes, sticks, and even basting syringes as paint applicators. Pollock's technique of pouring and dripping paint is thought to be one of the origins of the term action painting. With this technique, Pollock was able to achieve a more immediate means of creating art, the paint now literally flowing from his chosen tool onto the canvas. By defying the convention of painting on an upright surface, he added a new dimension by being able to
  • 8. view and apply paint to his canvases from all directions.A possible influence on Pollock was the work of the Ukrainian American artist Janet Sobel (1894–1968) (born Jennie Lechovsky). Peggy Guggenheim included Sobel's work in her The Art of This Century Gallery in 1945. With Jackson Pollock, the critic Clement Greenberg saw Sobel's work there in 1946. In his essay "American-Type Painting," Greenberg noted those works were the first of all-over painting he had seen, and said, "Pollock admitted that these pictures had made an impression on him". While painting this way, Pollock moved away from figurative representation, and challenged the Western tradition of using easel and brush. He used the force of his whole body to paint, which was expressed on the large canvases. In 1956, Time magazine dubbed Pollock "Jack the Dripper", due to his painting style. My painting does not come from the easel. I prefer to tack the unstretched canvas to the hard wall or the floor. I need the resistance of a hard surface. On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting. I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added. When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well. —Jackson Pollock, My Painting, 1956 Pollock observed American Indian sandpainting demonstrations in the 1940s. Referring to his style of painting on the floor, Pollock stated,
  • 9. “I feel nearer, more a part of the painting, since this way I can walk round it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting. This is akin to the methods of the Indian sand painters of the West.” Other influences on his drip technique include the Mexican muralists and Surrealist automatism. Pollock denied reliance on "the accident"; he usually had an idea of how he wanted a particular piece to appear. His technique combined the movement of his body, over which he had control, the viscous flow of paint, the force of gravity, and the absorption of paint into the canvas. It was a mixture of controllable and uncontrollable factors. Flinging, dripping, pouring, and spattering, he would move energetically around the canvas, almost as if in a dance, and would not stop until he saw what he wanted to see. As In 1950, Hans Namuth, a young photographer, wanted to take pictures (both stills and moving) of Pollock at work. Pollock promised to start a new painting especially for the photographic session, but when Namuth arrived, Pollock apologized and told him the painting was finished. Namuth said that when he entered the studio: A dripping wet canvas covered the entire floor … There was complete silence … Pollock looked at the painting. Then, unexpectedly, he picked up can and paint brush and started to move around the canvas. It was as if he suddenly realized the painting was not finished. His movements, slow at first, gradually became faster and more dance like as he flung black, white, and rust colored paint onto the canvas. He completely forgot that Lee and I were there; he did not seem to hear the click of the camera shutter … My photography session lasted as long as he kept painting, perhaps half an hour. In all that time, Pollock did not stop. How could one keep up this level of activity? Finally, he said 'This is it.' Pollock’s finest paintings… reveal that his all-over line does not give rise to positive or negative areas: we are not made to feel that one part of the canvas demands to be read as figure, whether abstract or representational, against another part of the canvas read as ground.
  • 10. There is not inside or outside to Pollock’s line or the space through which it moves…. Pollock has managed to free line not only from its function of representing objects in the world, but also from its task of describing or bounding shapes or figures, whether abstract or representational, on the surface of the canvas.
  • 11. Fractal Expressionism In 1999, physicist-artist Richard Taylor used computer analysis to show similarities between Pollock's painted patterns and fractals (patterns that recur on multiple size scales) found in natural scenery,reflecting Pollock’s own words “I am Nature.” His research team labelled Pollock's style Fractal Expressionism.Subsequently, over 10 scientific groups have performed fractal analysis on over 50 of Pollock's works. In 2005, fractal analysis was used for the first time in an authenticity dispute stirring controversy.A recent study which used fractal analysis as one of its techniques achieved a 93% success rate distinguishing real from fake Pollocks.Current research of Fractal Expressionism focuses on human response to viewing fractals. Cognitive neuroscientists have shown that Pollock’s fractals induce the same stress-reduction in observers as computer-generated fractals and Nature's fractals.1950s Pollock's most famous paintings were made during the "drip period" between 1947 and 1950. He rocketed to fame following an August 8, 1949 four-page spread in Life magazine that asked, "Is he the greatest living painter in the United States?" At the peak of his fame, Pollock abruptly abandoned the drip style. Pollock's work after 1951 was darker in color, including a collection painted in black on unprimed canvases. These paintings have been referred to as his 'Black pourings' and when he exhibited them at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York none of them sold. Parsons later sold one to a friend at half the price. The departure from his earlier style wasn't what his collectors wanted. Although these works show Pollock attempting to find a balance between abstraction and depictions of the figure. He later returned to using color and continued with figurative elements.During this period, Pollock had moved to a more commercial gallery; the demand for his work from collectors was great. In response to this pressure, along with personal frustration, his alcoholism deepened.
  • 12. From naming to numbering Continuing to evade the viewer's search for figurative elements in his paintings, Pollock a bandoned titles and started numbering his works. He said a bout this: "...look passively and try to receive what the painting has to offer and not bring a subject matter or preconceived idea of what they are to be looking for." Pollock's wife, Lee Krasner, said Pollock "used to give his pictures conventional titles... but now he simply numbers them. Numbers are neutral. They make people look at a picture for what it is—pure painting." Krasner's Influence Lee Krasner's influence on her husband's art was something critics began to reassess by the later half of the 1960s due to the rise of feminism at the time.Krasner's extensive knowledge and training in modern art and techniques helped her bring Pollock up to date with what contemporary art should be. Krasner was often considered to learn her husband in the dominant tenants of modernistic painting.Pollock was then able to change his style to fit a more organized and cosmopolitan genre of modern art, Krasner became the one judge he could trust.At the beginning of the two artists' marriage, Pollock would entrust his counterpart's opinions on what worked and what did not in his pieces.Lee Krasner was also responsible for introducing him to many collectors, critics, and artists, including Herbert Matters, who would help further his career as an emerging artist. John Bernard Myers, a noted art dealer, was once quoted to say that "there would never have been a Jackson Pollock without a Lee Pollock", whereas Fritz Bultman, a fellow painter, had referred to Pollock as Krasner's "creation, her Frankenstein", both men recognizing the immense impact Krasner had on Pollock's career.

Pollock and Krasner's relationship began to crumble by 1956 due to Pollock's continuing struggle with alcoholism and infidelity involving Ruth Kligman.On August 11, 1956, at 10:15 pm, Pollock died in a single- car crash in his Oldsmobile convertible while driving under the influence of alcohol. At the time Krasner was visiting friends in Europe and she abruptly returned on hearing the news from a friend.[64] One of the passengers, Edith Metzger, was also killed in the accident, which occurred less than a mile from Pollock's home.

  • 18. Kaveh Golestan who has died aged 52, was a distinguished Iranian photojournalist; he was killed on Wednesday by a landmine near Kifri, a town in the southern part of Iraqi Kurdistan, where he was covering the war for BBC Television. Golestan was working with Jim Muir, the BBC (and former Daily Telegraph) correspondent, and their producer Stuart Hughes. At lunchtime on Wednesday they were investigating an abandoned Iraqi fort. As they stepped from their car, first Hughes and then Golestan trod on mines. Hughes is recovering from a foot injury at the American military hospital in Soleymanieh, but Golestan was instantly killed. He was a veteran of numerous conflicts, including the Troubles in Belfast, the Iranian Revolution, the Iran-Iraq war - during which he won a Pulitzer Prize while reporting on Saddam Hussein's chemical attacks on the Kurds in 1988 - and the uprisings that followed the first Gulf war. He had been a freelance for the BBC since the early 1990s, and a contract cameraman since 2000. Kaveh Ibrahim Golestan was born in Teheran on July 7 1950. His grandfather had edited a daily newspaper in Isfahan, and his father was a journalist and film- maker who made a small fortune with a documentary about submarine security for oil pipelines, which was sold to oil companies around the world. Young Kaveh was educated at Raveh-e-Now, a school in Teheran, and made his first film, An Autumn (inspired by his father's film, A Fire, which won a prize at the Venice Film Festival), at the age of 11. Two years later he was sent to Millfield, Somerset, which he found repressive. He formed a pop group there, and, after the headmaster confiscated a recording they had made, he left the school and hitchhiked home to Teheran. 16
  • 19. Golestan worked for a while as a musician and painter; but when his father's studio was shut down by Savak (the Shah's secret police) he decided to become a journalist. After a stint in Belfast he returned to Teheran, where he worked for Associated Press and Time magazine. In the early 1980s he was employed at the London office of Time-Life, but was drawn back to Iran by the prospect of covering the war with Iraq. In March 1988 Golestan was outside the northern Kurdish town of Halabja when Iraqi MiG- 26s launched the biggest chemical attack on a civilian population in history, deploying a cocktail of mustard gas and the nerve agents sarin, tabun and VX. "It was life frozen," he recalled. "Life had stopped, like watching a film and suddenly it hangs on one frame. It was a new kind of death to me. You went into a kitchen and you saw the body of a woman holding a knife where she had been chopping a carrot. "The aftermath was worse. Victims were still being brought in. Some villagers came to our chopper. They had 15 or 16 beautiful children, begging us to take them to hospital. So all the press sat there, and we were each handed a child to carry. As we took off, fluid came out of my little girl's mouth, and she died in my arms." He married, in 1975, Hengameh (which in Persian means "Revolution") Jalali, a fellow- photographer, who survives him; they had a son, Mehrak, who is now 19 and has followed his father into journalism.
