70 years ago this week, from the August 8, 1949 ART feature: "JACKSON POLLOCK—Is he the greatest living painter in the United States?" According to LIFE, "Recently a formidably high-brow New York critic hailed the brooding, puzzled looking man as a major artist of our time and a fine candidate to become "the greatest American painter of the 20th Century." Others believe that Jackson Pollock produces nothing more than interesting, if inexplicable, decorations. Still others condemn his pictures as degenerate and find them as unpalatable as yesterday's macaroni. Even so, Pollock, at the age of 37, has burst forth as the shining new phenomenon of American art."

paqphoto Pollack's work is fine for decoration. Prices for his work however, are too high. Years from now, history will have awarded Norman Rockwell the posthumous honor of having been the greatest American artist of his century. The reason is that his work reflects the America of his time better than any other. In addition, his work, like that of any good writer, is easily understood, easy to appreciate, and well crafted in a way that is difficult to replicate.

michael_h_harris @art_of_ertengberg 1949 CIA would have just been reestablished as of rebirth from the WW2 OSS. The only reason they got back together was to defend against Russian foreign interest, I doubt these claims of pushing modern art unless they were using it as an experiment of cultural and societal influence trends.

setytatiana According to the Loveliest of all Lovelies, who also happens to be my best friend, Pollock was nothing more than an angry drunk and it manifested in his work which was and is overrated. Overrated, oh well.

remycondit Every Pollock post brings out the snobs, their reflexive complaints and denigrations the highlight of their contribution to instagram art theory.

virguoso @millennialfalcn @bradspectacular Maybe one day I’ll stop tagging you guys in posts that remind me of Red, but this is not that day. :) ❤️

contevandrauth È l'arte dei Mercanti d'arte. Pollock è un artista, ma il mercato lo fanno i Mercanti d'arte. Così va il mondo!
