	Jackson Pollock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pollock had for several years been in psychoanalytic therapy to try and cope with depression and this gave him an interest in Carl Jung 's theory of primitive archetypes that formed the basis of his work between 1938 and 1944.
		Pollock was able to work on large areas of canvas spread on the floor, in the process he moved away from figurative art, and developed techniques of splashing and dripping his paint onto canvas ( action painting).
		Pollock was profiled in Time Magazine as 'the greatest living American artist' in 1951 and as part of the profile Hans Namuth produced a celebrated series of photos of Pollock at work.

	Spirituality & Health: Movie Review: Pollock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Pollock is produced and directed by Ed Harris, who also plays the lead role.
		Covering a period from 1941 when Jackson Pollock (Ed Harris) first meets Lee Krasner (Marcia Gay Harden) to his death in an automobile accident in 1956, the drama does a fine job introducing us to the most important figures in the artist's life.
		At one point in his career, Jackson Pollock said to a friend, "Painting is no problem; the problem is what to do when you're not painting." This focused film probes that dimension of this unusual artist's life with aplomb.

		Pollock is directed by Golden Globe winner and Oscar-nominated actor Ed Harris, who makes his directorial debut, stars in the title role and serves as a producer.
		Pollock's need for approval bordered on the psychopathic and yet his even deeper need to create art that had no hint of the lie about it, drove him to make art that had never been made before and was certainly fair game for ridicule and abuse.
		But Pollock's toughest critic was himself and he knew that only he knew what was pure and true and real as far as his own work was concerned.

	Pollock (2000). Movie reviews by Dr. Edwin Jahiel.
		Pollock was also an alcoholic and a manic-depressive who went through hospitalization and several psychoanalytic therapy sessions.
		There is logic in the mostly comic movie characters such as the absent-minded professors, the inventors with their heads in the clouds, the musicians who.
		In "Pollock," Harris is very good again, he IS Pollock--and does all the paintings himself, down to the much-awaited, inevitable Big Scene, that of "discovering" dribble or spatter or drip painting.

	The Pollock Movie
		Unlike the movie moguls of the past, Ed Harris, who directed and starred in the film and whose 10-year-long obsession it was to produce it, clearly relished the consequential obligation of historical accuracy.
		Pollock was one of the few artists Clem did not disparage in some way, except to strongly condemn him for the death of the girl in the final, fatal car accident and to reprove him because he did not "take care of his gift".
		When you look at the photographs of Pollock painting the tense poise, the mouth hanging half-open and the furrowed forehead with the downward-sloping protrusion on the outside of each eyebrow powerfully covey the desperate urgency of artmaking as a matter of life-or-death, because for Pollock it was.

		It's rough to watch a movie that portrays someone you know, especially when the portrait process is conducted dumb-assed.
		On the other hand, and assuming Pollock was that type of drunk, the effect verged on slapstick, as if Red Skelton were doing the directing.
		Lee Krasner was not merely devoted and self-sacrificing, she KNEW what Pollock was up to and Marcia Harden put that across with conviction and surefootedness.

		Pollock is a new film starring and directed by Ed Harris.
		Pollock is the first film directed by Ed Harris and it is an admirable one.
		While it would have been nice to see more of Pollock's thoughts or personality there wasn't a lot to work with due to the fact that Pollock was not a very open man. A lot of directors would have relied on speculation to capture or dissect the person that they are filming.

	Pollock
		Pollock's meteoric rise to glory meant that he succumbed soon to common celebrity ills -- booze, promiscuity, temper -- and this is the area that the film seems to cast a dramatic wide-angle lens on.
		POLLOCK is, first and foremost, a biography of famed American painter Jackson Pollock, but it is also an intense study of a man, his unyieldingly supportive wife, and their joint effort to realize his dream.
		Pollock was a troubled man and this movie brings that to the forefront along side his creative genius in a very respectable way.

	Jackson Pollock Biography Information
		Pollock, Jackson (1912-1956), American abstract painter, who developed a technique for applying paint by pouring or dripping it onto canvases laid on the floor.
		Pollock reinforced this dynamism with compositions that emphasized all parts of the canvas equally and had no visual center of attention.
		Although the press often derided Pollock as a purely impulsive and untrained artist, in reality he used careful calculation to achieve his allover compositions and to avoid emphasizing one area over another.

		Pollock is that rare breed, a biopic that makes you want to learn more about its subject, as much as you can, as fast as you can.
		Pollock convincingly retails the beauty and originality of the painter's best work -- it may not be an intellectual adventure, but it does represent one.
		The movie is enriched by its fine acting and by its creative respect for an innovator whose influence still permeates contemporary art.

	TNMC DVD: Pollock
		From a cinematic standpoint you might think that making a movie about a painter, particularly one whose work was extremely abstract, wouldn't be a great idea.
		Pollock tells the story of a man who was fairly revolutionary in his style but more importantly, was a horrendously conflicted and troubled soul.
		He is best known for his drip paintings, where the canvas was laid on the floor and Pollock actually dripped paint onto it rather than putting it there directly with the brush.

		Pollock is an accomplished and thoughtful film, one that not only gives no hint of being a first work, but surmounts challenges in its subject matter that would have phased many a seasoned director.
		Immediately flashing back to 1941, Pollock doesn't waste a minute disclosing the drinking problem: Pollock on a bender, returning to the Greenwich Village walkup where he was living with his brother and sister-in-law.
		Their first approach to lovemaking is shot with Pollock in the foreground, Krasner at the end of a dark hallway, silhouetted against the dim light from the bedroom as she starts to undress.

		And his devotion assured a work of singular integrity, honoring the artist's achievement in abstract expressionism while acknowledging that Pollock was a tormented, manic-depressive alcoholic whose death at 44 (in a possibly suicidal car crash) also claimed the life of an innocent woman.
		Pollock is shown in all his primitive nature, his creation process, his troubles with the alcohol and twist of character supported by a very kinetic frenzy.
		Pollock is my favorite Ed Harris Movie, and it's also a good biopic about an artist that's as inspirational and moving as Frida, except it's not as visually inovative.

	Pollock Movie
		American artist Jackson Pollock was an alcoholic, manic-depressant and often an uncontrollable, angry and insecure man. However, when he painted, he found a sense of freedom and peace, a release from his anger and sadness.
		The movie follows the latter years of Pollock’s life –we see him rise to fame as a painter and we watch him struggle with life as his alcoholism, ego and violent nature wear him down slowly.
		The movie Pollock" is a wonderful film that showcases an artist whose brilliant talent and erratic behavior paradoxically gained him fame and cost him his demise.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Pollock Movie Review
		In an early scene, Jackson Pollock (Ed Harris) beats a knife and fork maniacally in tune with the buoyant beats of Gene Krupa on the radio.
		Pollock may have cracked the art world wide open with his free associative jazz-splatter technique, but Harris keeps his filmmaking approach purely functional.
		Pollock is the Tortured Artist, an archetype familiar from such films as Basquiat, Lust For Life, Total Eclipse and Surviving Picasso, among others.

	Movie Review: Pollock / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
		We are shown that Pollock is an alcoholic, that he is tormented, that his life is marked by self-indulgence and a desire to attain oblivion through drinking and casual sex, but as far as the "why" of this is concerned, we are left entirely at sea.
		Similarly, the complex relationship of Pollock and Lee Krasner – and all the implications of her allowing Pollock's art to overshadow her own talents – is never really explored.
		When the film arrives at its predetermined end with Pollock – drunk and despondent – managing to finally attain his oblivion in the car crash that also claimed the life of one of his passengers, very little seems to be answered.

	Pollock (2000) Movie Review
		W hat the movie Pollock has to do… and ultimately fails to do… is make us believe there is a reason that we should be more interested in him than all the other brilliant self-destructive people in the world.
		Ed Harris (who also directed) does an incredible job of portraying Pollock, but in the end Jackson Pollock was an unlikable, selfish, chronically insecure man -- which makes it real tough to care about the centerpiece of your story.
		Jackson Pollock’s art may have been unique, but his life story seems to have been pretty standard fare.

	Movie Review - Pollock - eFilmCritic
		In "Pollock," in addition to starring in the role of the title character, Ed Harris also makes his directorial debut --if not so much an auspicious one, still one with a minimal hint at admiration.
		After an interposed clip of Jackson Pollock (Harris) attending an unspecified gala, we are thrown back into the chronological advancements with his work in late 1941 when he was "discovered" by painter and connoisseur Lee Krasner (Marcia Gay Harden).
		Being a biographical movie, "Pollock" also includes the downhill step that Pollock takes when resuming his alcoholic consumption and the subsequent deterioration of his and Lee's marriage, and then his "untimely" death.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Pollock
		She takes a lot of emotional abuse from Pollock, but when she's had enough, she walks away, proving she's not the dependent one.
		You don't really have much sympathy for Pollock, because of his abrasive character, and you can't really feel sorry for Krasner, either, because she is the one in charge and she sure knew what she was getting into.
		Sometimes it seems you must be a bit of a madman to be an artistic genius, but then again, maybe it only seems that way because madmen are practically the only subjects for biographical films like this.

		But falling out of this we get a Pollock who was often petty and abusive, competitive and jealous, shy and guarded, and torn between his genuine love of art and a desperate need for acceptance.
		And here the film approaches some dangerous territory: the possibility that Pollock’s famous drip painting style was a cynical reaction to an art community that wasn't paying him proper attention.
		In the final moments of the film, in a scene right before Jackson Pollock proceeds to callously put innocent human lives at risk, he comes upon an injured dog on the highway, and rushes the dog to the veterinarianan.
