Last night for my Art History class, I had to watch the movie "Pollock" starring Ed Harris.
Jackson Pollock is one of those artists who I never really understood.
His work just seemed like something that anyone could do.
After watching this amazing film, I have so much more respect for his art.
As a human being, he wasn't the best, but as an artist, he had something rare.
He lived a tragic life full of alcohol and sorrow, and died at the age of 44 in a drunk driving accident. All of that potential and talent, lost. I'm glad we still get to enjoy his work even though it's been over 50 years since his death. I would recommend anyone who has their doubts about Jackson Pollock, to watch this truly moving film.
