Storyline
| Plot Summary |
At the end of the 1940's, abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) is featured in Life magazine. Flashback to 1941, he's living with his brother in a tiny apartment in New York City, drinking too much, and exhibiting an occasional painting in group shows. That's when he meets artist Lee Krasner, who puts her career on hold to be his companion, lover, champion, wife, and, in essence, caretaker. To get him away from booze, insecurity, and the stress of city life, they move to the Hamptons where nature and sobriety help Pollock achieve a breakthrough in style: a critic praises, then Life magazine calls. But so do old demons: the end is nasty, brutish, and short.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Ed Harris's father, Bob L. Harris, bought his son a book about Jackson Pollock simply because he felt Ed bore a strong resemblance to the painter. Ever since then, Ed Harris became fascinated with Pollock's life. See more » |
| Goofs | When the photographer is making the movie of Pollock, he "zooms" in on the shoes. But the old 16 mm camera he is using has a turret with three fixed lenses; thus, he should not be able to zoom. All his other shots are as expected from fixed lenses of different focal lengths. See more » |

| Quotes |
Jackson Pollock:
If people would just look at the paintings, I don't think they would have any trouble enjoying them. It's like looking at a bed of flowers, you don't tear your hair out over what it means. See more » |
