JACKSON POLLOCK SPLASHED PAINT

GILBERTI, FAUSTO

a clever, charmingly quirky portrayal of painter jackson pollock – and the first in a series of picture-book biographies of contemporary artists jackson pollock was unlike any other painter. instead of sitting in front of an easel with brushes, he poured paint over canvases rolled-out across the floor, moving, splashing, and making the vivid liquid run with energy and rhythm. pollock’s story is told here with wit and eccentricity, perfectly paired with black-line illustrations – and splatters galore. fausto gilberti brings movement, life, and whimsy to the true life story of one of the most important contemporary artists of our time.
