The 1987 documentary narrated by Melvyn Bragg.
Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was an Action Painter, one of the leaders of the avant-garde Abstract Expressionist movement, and is considered one of America’s greatest artists. His life was cut short at the age of forty-four, in a tragic automobile accident at his own hands while driving intoxicated. Although he struggled financially during his lifetime, his paintings are now worth millions, with one painting, "No. 5", 1948, selling for about $140 million in 2006 through Sotheby’s. He became particularly well-known for drip-painting, a radical new technique he developed that catapulted him to fame and notoriety.
