A landmark work of biographical non-fiction, Jackson Pollock: An American Saga chronicles the turbulent life of one of the twentieth century's most revolutionary artists. Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith present an exhaustive and vivid portrait of Jackson Pollock — the Wyoming-born painter whose abstract expressionist canvases redefined modern art and whose tortured personal life became as iconic as his drip paintings. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and previously unpublished documents, the authors uncover the psychological demons, the alcoholism, the creative genius, and the volatile relationships that shaped both the man and his myth. Written with the narrative drive of a novel yet grounded in rigorous scholarship, this Pulitzer Prize-winning biography argues that Pollock's story is inseparable from the broader American experience of ambition, self-destruction, and reinvention. It remains the definitive account of the artist who changed the course of painting forever.
