Jackson Pollock (1992)

A helpful look at Abstract Expressionism

This is a helpful video to explain Pollock's work. I think it goes far in helping us understand why Pollock's painting is art, not just splatters. The video quality was a bit low, and the eighties beginning was a bit tacky. But overall a worthwhile, helpful DVD. May 8, 2007

Everything I could have wanted.

I was a bit weary to pick this up because I wasn't sure just what would be included, both in the feature as well as in the way of extras. Well, there are no extras and the transfer is a bit spotty in places but the feature content is what really shines. I was very impressed with the inclusion of excerpts from both Namuth's black and white and color fims, as well as excerpts from the radio interview Pollock did. Also included are interviews with friends and family (including his wife, Lee Krasner). If you saw the movie and wanted to know what the real man was like, I would suggest picking up this DVD.
