About This Item
NY: The Museum of Modern Art. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1998. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Soft Cover. 0870700693 . Publisher's glossy wraps. Profusely illustrated with 227 color and 198 duotone reproductions. Jackson Pollock is widely considered the most challenging and influential American artist of the twentieth century. In his revolutionary paintings of the late 1940s, he dripped or poured paint into complex webs of interlacing lines, rhythmically punctuated by pools of color. With their allover composition, seemingly total abstraction, and gestural but remarkably controlled handling of paint, these powerful works announced the emergence of Abstract Expressionism. This sumptuously illustrated book accompanies the major Pollock exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1998-99 (and then at the Tate Gallery, London)-America's first full survey of the artist's career since the 1967 retrospective also organized by the Modern. An essay by Kirk Varnedoe explores Pollock's life, the mythology that so quickly grew up around him as the prototypical "action painter," and the critical interpretations of his legacy. It traces the development of his work from European and American models, and discusses his powerful impact on later artists. Pepe Karmel's innovative study of Hans Namuth's photographs and films of Pollock at work offers new insight into the genesis of Pollock's paintings. . The volume is in virtually perfect, pristine condition, unmarked, tight, square and clean, with only the slightest signs of shelf-wear. NEAR FINE.. Color Plates. Oblong 4to 11" - 13" tall. 336 pp .
