Authored by Kirk Varnedoe, then Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, with contributions from scholar Pepe Karmel, the volume chronicles Pollock's restless artistic evolution from his early figurative works rooted in American regionalism and Jungian symbolism, through to the revolutionary drip paintings that would come to define Abstract Expressionism and place American art at the centre of the global avant-garde.\n\nRichly illustrated and rigorously researched, the book presents newly examined archival materials — including working photographs and film footage of Pollock's legendary technique — that fundamentally reframe scholarly understanding of his creative process. Varnedoe's prose is incisive and assured, balancing formal art-historical analysis with a genuine sensitivity to the raw, almost primal energy that courses through Pollock's canvases. As much a meditation on artistic risk and ambition as it is a survey of a single career, this volume leaves the reader asking the most enduring question in modern art: where does chaos end and mastery begin?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269336899803,"sku":"2026100009297-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/be50c2e5-708a-440b-9461-e352b1c1b057.png?v=1788998388","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009297-secondhand-jackson-pollock","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
