Jackson Pollock Quotes

«The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating.»
«It doesn't make much difference how the paint is put on as long as something has been said. Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement.»
«When I am in a painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.»
«Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was.»
«Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.»
«The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meanings in modern art.»
«The modern artist?is working and expressing an inner world ? in other words ? expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.»
«The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through.»
Author: Jackson Pollock (Painter) | Keywords: come through
«It [abstract art] should be enjoyed just as music is enjoyed ? after a while you may like it or you may not.»
«I'm very representational some of the time, and a little all of the time. But when you're painting out of your unconscious, figures are bound to emerge.»
