Quotations

  • "People who study art or who claim to be artists almost never become professional artists. They think that just because they're artsy that they will somehow magically be "discovered", but they never are. A true artist goes through years and years of self-doubt, tonnes of work with little payoff. The only reason Jackson Pollock succeeded is because he was determined and ambitious, and kept working at it regardless of what other people said or did. He was not a lazy man who expected everything to come to him. He worked hard and deserved the attention that he eventually received later in his career. In short, it takes years of failure to make a professional artist."

Jackson Pollock in 1950 Pollocks Galaxy, a part of the Joslyn Art Museums permanent collection Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an influential American artist and a major force in the abstract expressionism movement. ...
