      Painting series ⎮ uninhibited soul

      American director Ed Harris directed and starred in "Pollack Pollock" (2000). The film won two Oscars at an unexpected level. Ed Harris spent a full 10 years on this, immersing himself in studying the biography of the American master of abstract expressionism, Pollock Pollock (1912-1956). Pollack is recognized as the number one player in American modern painting to break away from European standards and...

      See what it means

      The film is based on Pollock's biography, but it omits too much background explanation. It takes a lot of effort to read. After reading a book to understand his entire life background and the early relationship between family and friends, I can understand the incomprehensibility better.
      Among them, the description of the painting process is relatively "real". I always feel that for action painting, the painting and the painting process are equally important. The painting should be...

      Artistic life driven alternately by creation and destruction

      Pollock (born 1912-1956 in Gary, Indiana, USA) was the first American abstract painter to be noticed by Europe. He changed the role of the United States as a follower of European art from the European Renaissance to the mid-20th century. He overthrew the United States. Has always adhered to the figurative language of painting. He created the world-famous "drip painting" and became a classic work of abstract expressionism.

      Of course, the prosperity of American contemporary art cannot be...

      The demands of the paranoid


             I was a little surprised when this movie was asked to watch it as a homework. Because Harris, the director of this film, is one of my favorite directors. He devoted ten years to this film. He devoted himself to the imitation and experience of his life habits and hobbies. In 2001, he brought Pollock's short life back to us. Therefore, I watched this movie when I was in college, with a sense of awe, but I didn't analyze it too much. And a few years later, to watch this movie, I still...

      Loneliness

      In order to make the film "Pollock", Ed Harris spent 10 years preparing, because Pollock has penetrated into his heart and life, so he not only starred in and directed the film.
      This fateful encounter began in 1986. At that time, his father gave Harris a biography of Pollock: "Jackson Pollock: American Legend". The photo of the man on the cover made Harris feel like himself, and both of them had a habit of drinking. A peculiar feeling made Harris regard the shooting of this biography as a...

      Biographical films about an artist often struggle to show the creative process, those more visual and show-stopping factors such as alcoholism, relationships with women, facial anxiety caused by bipolar disorder, confrontation with contemporaries in coffee shops/bistros The artist's impromptu critique becomes the focus, and in the end, we seem to be getting closer and closer to the painter's way of life, but still don't know what makes Pollock end up being Pollock, luckily his paintings...

      performance art...

    Movie plot

    As a leader of Western art at the time, Pollack created a large number of abstract oil paintings with his extraordinary genius and courage, and laid the foundation for the creation of performance art. He deservedly became an art star in the hearts of the American people, but Pollack did not claim to be a successful person. His anti-traditional creative spirit inspired his primitive and wild inspiration. The inspiration was applied to...

    Creative background

    The director of the film, Ed Harris, knew everything about Pollock so well that it was difficult for him to give the film to others. In 1986, his father gave him a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Pollock, "Jackson Pollock: The Legend of an American", as a roundabout warning to Harris who was suspected of being a drunkard . It was not this warning that irritated Harris the most, but how much the person on the cover of the book...

"Camel" brand cigarettes. He also made a special trip to pay a visit to the painter's former residence, and lay on the bed where Pollock once lay to...
