Paul Jackson Pollock was born as the youngest child of LeRoy McCoy Pollock and Stella McClure Pollock, in 1912. Four elder brothers made up the rest of his family. Though born in Cody, Wyoming; Pollock was brought up in California and Arizona. After a period of study at the Manual Arts High School located in Los Angeles, Pollock joined his brother Charles to study at the Art Students League with him under American muralist and painter – Thomas Hart Benton. Benton had a lasting influence on the abstract art output of Pollock. The art techniques of David Alfaro Siquieros, José Clemente Orozco – a Mexican muralist and El Greco – a Spanish painter, also greatly influenced Pollock.

Between 1935 and 1942, Pollock was involved in the Federal Art Project. The late 1930′s saw him seeking help for alcoholic depression. Pollock’s companionship with a rich New York heiress by the name of Peggy Guggenheim helped him earn public recognition.

Pictures of Nothing: Abstract Art since Pollock (Bollingen)

Abstract Art Pictures

“What is abstract art good for? What’s the use–for us as individuals, or for any society–of pictures of nothing, of paintings and sculptures or prints or drawings that do not seem to show anything except themselves?” In this invigorating account of abstract art since Jackson Pollock, eminent art historian Kirk Varnedoe, the former chief curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, asks these and other questions as he frankly confronts the uncertainties we may have about the n

This renowned American painter is known for his abstract renditions of art. Despite the fact that Jackson Pollock died in 1956, his art is living on, with the Jackson Pollock app, associated with iPhone and its painting apps. Because the reclusive artist was a pioneer in abstract expressionism, and notorious for his drip and splash style, it was a great loss to the art world when he died in a car accident at the young age of 44 resulting from his addiction to alcohol.

Cubism – A Working Definition

Cubism originated in the first decade of the twentieth century. It is an abstract art form where the normally observed view is dissected by the artist and then put back together again, but with the conventions of representational art removed. Complex shapes are reduced to basic geometries, depth cues are removed, and faces which would not be visible to the observer from one position are nonetheless represented on the canvas. It is definitely one of the more academic art forms and the first branch of Cubism, Analytic Cubism, was well named. 

To understand Picasso and Cubism it is important to know something about both the artist’s development and the state of art at the time.

The Evolution of Cubism

Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque are credited with the invention of Cubism. Accounts differ as to whether it originally Braque’s or Picasso’s idea or whether it was a genuinely equal discovery. The most widely accepted version is that Picasso persuaded Braque to make the move from Fauvism to the new form.

Most people have heard of the Surrealism movement. Surrealism began in France, but soon spread throughout the world. It has influenced art, literature, culture, politics, music and films. Yet not everybody has much of an idea about what the Surrealism movement was and where it came from.

The Surrealism movement began in 1924 with the publication of a book written by a French poet named Andre Brenton. The book he published was called ‘Manifeste du Surrealisme.’ This book described how Surrealism can be applied to art, poetry and literature as well as any other aspect of life. Brenton believed that by contacting the subconscious part of the mind a person could access poetic and artistic truths.

Surrealism was influenced by the work of Sigmund Freud in that it attempted to express the subconscious mind. It was based on the belief that the imagination is expressed in dreams. Surrealism has nothing to do with conscious thoughts, conventional ideas, rationale or logic. Surrealism, then, can be described as an expression of the subconscious mind.
