Trace the genesis of Jackson Pollock’s work in this intimate portrait of the radical twentieth-century artist through the diverse cultural influences that charted his artistic evolution.
Jackson Pollock’s “drip technique” paintings are among the most readily recognizable works of modern art, and they launched his career in 1947. But Pollock’s earlier works vacillate between figurative references and abstract formal experimentation; they bear witness to diverse sources that nourished the young artist’s experimentation, including Native American influences, Mexican muralists, European avant-garde artists—notably Picasso—and the Surrealists. Jungian psychoanalysis also left a mark on his art, and this book offers intimate insight into the artist’s psyche. Through this comprehensive volume—produced to accompany the exhibition at the Musée National Picasso-Paris—readers will discover how these influences merged to forge Pollock’s distinctive and singular artistic voice.

Jan van Eyck was one of the most inventive and influential artists in the entire European tradition. The phenomenal realism of his paintings, now six centuries old, still astounds observers in a world accustomed to high-resolution images. But other dimensions of his work are just as original and absorbing. Unlike any earlier artist, Van Eyck infused his paintings with himself. In addition to portraying, reflecting and implying his own presence in a variety of works, he also introduced his voice, hand and mind in an array of inscriptions, signatures and even a personal motto. Incorporating a wealth of new research and recent discoveries within a fresh exploration of the paintings themselves, this book reveals how profoundly Jan van Eyck transformed the very idea of what an artist could be.
