Jackson Pollock documentary

Comtemporaery Art ,Drippainting!

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

I didn't get Jackson Pollock until I saw Blue Poles at the National Gallery of Australia while on a visit to Canberra. I didn't know it was in the gallery, I was just wandering around looking for the silver Elvis and boom, I turned a corner and there it was. Huge, overwhelming, dynamic and incredibly dense. I immediately understood that there was nothing random about the painting, nothing contrived. It was pure energy. I later saw a Pollock exhibition at The Museum Of Modern Art and again I was bowled over by these paintings. Perplexed by how Pollock came to this point as an artist. Someone once described Pollock's paintings as 'Lino, or floor covering designs', couldn't be further from the truth of the paint on the canvas. I have no real opinion about him as a man, but the paintings speak for themselves when you see them.

[@99thehighstreet69]

Agreed.Its strange its viewed as a failure.Its great.love blue poles. Be well

[@Timothycpollock]

Happy you like it.

[@andybaldman]

The only reason you know about it is because of Peggy Guggenheim. The only reason Pollock is known is because of her money

[@rosejacob3146]

THAT'S what art, contemporary art is..FEELING it..not a dissertation on art..RAW FEELINGS!👍

[@jaylucas8352]

Yes, Pollock is a modern primal expression of human feeling. Unique energy

[@hoomanot]

What's amazing about a Pollock is how absurdly blunt, raw, dense and ferocious it is. One look, and it immediately strikes you! I remember using one as a FB profile picture and it got many folks intrigued and quite a few, perturbed lol!

[@Fleshaga]

Thank you for this video. I've always seen Pollock paintings but i wanted to know the story behind it. I've used the description "it looks Pollock" without knowing the story behind the man, i only knew his art. Excellent video Clemens Lucca.

[@fromthepeanutgallery1084]

What an era. No cel phones, computers, satellites. Just you, a studio paint canvas and your lover. Beautiful.

[@commendatore2516]

what an era indeed, no facebook, no twitter, no instagram, nothing....only paint on canvas....lovely!

He was a tormented soul suffering from bipolar as far as I know, and alcohol is a death sentence if you are bipolar

[@billjones8503]

I'm not sure he was manic? But as pointed out he was egoistical, manipulative, etc. He had mental issues, perhaps of his own making. Tortured for sure. Too bad he ended it all-& didn't seem to care that they went with him. In the Ed Harris film one of the girls died.

Hola soy arleth me gusto mucho la manera en la que pintaba es realmente interesante,me servira bastante en la clase de artes y para pintar ya sea por mi propia cuenta!

[@boristabareag3598]

Alfonso Ossorio is a great artist too, a sheer master of "assemblage", which is a step beyond usual collage. Other great name in that field : Joseph Cornell. Dave Mckean owes a great deal to both of them.

[@rancosteel]

Great docu. Thanks for the upload.

You mentioned informative twice.

[@jaylucas8352]

Yes, very good snap shot into American history in art 💯🔥

[@simonetta-ta]

Pollock is .... POW !!💥

[@typeofhealing]

spectators and critics of his paintings were fools. It was not about what he painted but "how" he painted--the grace in it, the dance like continuous flow. His painting must be seen totally not just what is being painted for then you will miss all the heavenly glory, as Bruce Lee said, if you get lost in the finger pointing the sky.

[@dharma6525]

Just sprayed paint tandomly on canvas No amount of bullshit will turn this statement wrong

[@leslieortega7914]

Soy areli Me gusto mucho la manera que pintaba y esto me ayudara para la clase de artes 👍🏻

[@morganfisherart]

A fine documentary. There was some beautiful music used, and I wish the hell they would credit it. Why is it that everyone down to the guy pushing the camera around gets credit, but music - which is almost half of the experience we have - gets none? Unfair!!

[@DreamingCatStudio]

One piece they used in the “western” scenes was Dvorak’s New World Symphony.

[@morganfisherart]

@@DreamingCatStudio thank you - I thought it was familiar.

Hello Miriam, how polite of you to introduce yourself first. I hope you find more enjoyment in other videos like this one.

[@pattersonparkin7303]

Really moving

[@presidentoxford]

Closing shot is fairly close to Heaven. Pollock, Rothko w' Giacometti would be perfect.

[@ivaneel1553]

So beautiful but how with such wild and unplanned strokes applied in some areas. How can the end result be so breathtaking awesome?.

[@OfficialBasedologyYT]

Drip too hard

[@BlueBaron3339]

You can tell when this was made by the fact that *everyone* is smoking cigarettes. But it's a more interesting documentary in many ways than later ones because so many of his contemporaries were still living when it was made. And still smoking 😉

[@JimSVoit]

What is the music used during the end credits???

WHEN THE CANVAS NO LONGER HAD ANY ROOM FOR MORE GLIDDEN HOUSE PAINT, HE QUIT, AND SAW THE FINISHED WORK FOR THE FIRST TIME,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,AS A STRANGER !

[@stilesthissell]

I think I understand now

[@andreg127]

It is insane how Pollock’s earlier works were mural-like and is able to be understood by many. But then the deeper he goes into his work, the more formless it becomes. He ditches the paint brush and splatters paint instead. He goes from painting something specific to just splashing and dripping paint to express himself in the purest sense - no rules, no specific outcome in mind, just expression.

[@jaylucas8352]

Pure human feeling strewn on the void like substance of matter , the canvas

[@barbaraduggan631]

all artists whichever field are eccentric .. no matter what field you are in .. like Van Gogh .. he became famous after his death ... oh well...

[@lilasmurray2425]

Didn't accept responsibility for his own life. I wish they gave more credit to the persons who's lives these artists consumed for their own selfish existence. This isn't bitter statement, just factual. Great, he flipped the table then went to barn. What did people do the rest of their evening especially one left after all the guests gone home?

[@mcollings1000]

Everyone loves"This isn't bitter statement, just factual."

[@billjones8503]

Fascinating doc. - Question: In the film with Ed Harris one of the girls dies also in the crash. Is that true? And why isn't it mentioned in this? I see this is 10 yrs old. Will have to google.

Wait till you find out how the whole world operates 😂😂👍

[@mcollings1000]

@@jmpsthrufyre The CIA of course didn't really. It's a fatuous story that seems to say much but says little. They came in once the Pollock success phenomenon was already big and their involvement meant very little to this phenomenon. Krasner is the really significant element in you hearing about Pollock, and then Greenberg.

Give it the context of theosophy and the timeline makes sense.

Does anyone know the title of the documentary?

[@55jamjar]

I suspect it is The south Bank show - it’s Melvyn Bragg narrating and it’s about the the right length for an edition of The Southbank Show

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

I think the solution to staying normal for any artist is to have another job. He was weirdly enough searching for this in relationships. Most likely he considered being an artist as his job. But it is not a job if u can't adapt. Take comissions; like Rembrandt. If u have nobody checking you and your schedule you lose your grip. It's actually other ppl frowning upon you if you misbehave. Helps to keep u restrained.

[@rutbrea8796]

I think a polar disorder is what causes to see the surroundings as an abstract world. These peoples see mostly strong colors in their minds. They don't seem to have a realistic vision of their surroundings, as well they don't interpret people's behavior as a realistic motive for actions. This attitude caused them to react in a negative way according to standard behavior. I can understand their pain, but can't tolerate their attitude. It could become sadistic and is better to run away from it. I like some of their paintings, but don't enjoy most of them. I prefer realism. It's hard to paint realistically, it takes a lot of effort and work.

[@differenttakethanmost]

Why are people so bloody slow and stubborn when it comes to appreciating new ideas?!? They could barely afford to live… and ONE of his paintings is now worth multi millions- Shameful.

How like Gertrude Stien women made the art world.

[@georgeedward1226]

Nowadays, a public figure gets cancelled for saying the wrong thing. Pollock killed a woman with his irresponsible behavior and is still revered and remembered for his artwork.

[@mcollings1000]

Yes that's exactly the right set of values. And in any case he's greatly despised for killing Eve Metzler. But an artwork is an artwork, it doesn't matter to its artistic achievement if the artist is an evil guy.

"ARTE" 💩

[@davekennedy6315]

If the Australian government did indeed buy a Pollock for a million or two and that 'work of art' is worth 100+ million today then why don't they sell it and invest the money into schools or children's hospitals? The children could easily knock up something better looking than anything Pollock has done.

[@mcollings1000]

These are two different points. The first one is fair enough, the second ignorant.

[@cherrygarcia1]

My 5 year old has been throwing paint before Pollock...🎨👼👶..is that his real voice..weird

[@barbaraduggan631]

if you can accept Picasso ... you can accept Pollock ,,, did not like Picasso but did with Pollock ... both of the men were eccentric and egotistical ,,, no difference ... Pollock was more inventive than Picasso..... was meant to die too soon because of of his demons as Van Gogh....

[@jerryconner4270]

I could say that I'm the reincarnation of Jackson pollock and people will say I'm crazy, trying to get attention or trying to get attention. Who knows, perhaps thats true but after years of studying pollock life and art and my beliefs in reincarnation, plus I'm an abstract painter myself. As far fetched as it seems, do believe I was Jackson pollock.
