A clever, charmingly idiosyncratic depiction of the painter Jackson Pollock – and the first in a series of biography books with images of contemporary artists
Jackson Pollock did not resemble any other painter. Instead of sitting in front of an easel with brushes, he poured paint onto canvases spread out on the floor, moving, splattering, and making the living liquid flow with energy and rhythm. The story of Pollock is cleverly and eccentrically told here, perfectly combined with black line illustrations – and plenty of splatters. Fausto Gilberti brings movement, life, and whimsy to the true life story of one of the most important contemporary artists of our time.
