Jackson Pollock

[American Abstract Expressionist Painter, 1912-1956]

• Relationships: Husband of Lee Krasner.
Studied under Thomas Hart Benton.
• Browse all:  American artists

When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It's only after a sort of "get acquainted" period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.
- quoted in Possibilities I, Winter 1947-48
