Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock? (2006)

Nueva York, años 40. Jackson Pollock y Lee Krasner, pintores y amantes, se encuentran en el centro del mundo artístico neoyorquino. Cuando contraen matrimonio, se trasladan al campo; ella abandona su trabajo para entregarse en cuerpo y alma al arte de Pollock, que empieza a crear una obra extraordinariamente original que lo convierte en el primer pintor moderno de los Estados Unidos. Pero la fama y la fortuna llegan acompañadas de dudas existenciales y episodios violentos.

Ken Jacobs applies his patented Eternalism process to 3D images he took of Jackson Pollock's 1954 splatter painting.

The band of American artists known as the New York School toyed with tradition and rebelled against the Renaissance.Feeling as though free association yielded their best results, the painters, poets and performers of the New York School took a surrealist approach that was concerned less with aesthetic and more with expression. Those associated with the School were unified by their desire to create from within. They created a monumental, dramatic art that remains a singular expression of the crucial modern quest for individuality and personal freedom." Never knowing exactly how their pieces would turn out, the artists of the New York School embraced their own complex humanity and worked from a place of bold, sporadic realness.
