A clever, charmingly quirky depiction of the painter Jackson Pollock – and the first in a series of biographical picture books about contemporary artists
Jackson Pollock was unlike any other painter. Instead of sitting at an easel with brushes, he threw paint onto canvases spread out on the floor, moving, splattering, and making the liquid material dance with energy and rhythm. Pollock's story is told here with wit and eccentricity, perfectly paired with black line illustrations – and plenty of splatters. Fausto Gilberti brings motion, life, and whimsy to the true life story of one of the most important contemporary artists of our time.
