Jackson Pallock
his life and his art were entwined in a very abstract way. His art expressed his untamed mannerisms, and yet they called him "the sign of progress" for modern art. He's art represented freedom, &self expression. he was the "giant of american art", but he was very insecure. he said "i don't paint nature i am nature." the free swirling lines he painted were, in my opinion, like his deepest inner most thoughts, his back thoughts were like the uncontrollable, unreachable art that he painted. "No.14 (grey)". they said he was a [wild painter because he painted on the floor, and a and a tough painter because he used cheap paint,but those paints gave him the affects he wanted]. he did is pieces in stages which is easy to see in his painting "No.9" you see layers of yellow, white, black, blue, red,and orange. he thought that if he had more success he would have more confidence which would lead to less depression and less drinking, none of this was true. i feel like in his state of depression and rage he was deeply misunderstood even by his own self, he didn't know what he wanted. he was so wrapped up in his physical image he had to obtain so he let is art work show the true him, the outraged unfathomable mindset he wanted to release, but he was so insecure so hung up on the words of others he couldn't allow himself to do that.
