Jackson Pollock
[Artist, b. 1912, Cody, Wyoming, d. 1956, Springs, New York.]
The modern artist is living in a mechanical age, and we have a mechanical means of representing objects in nature such as the camera and photograph. The modern artist [therefore], it seems to me is working and expressing an inner world, in other words expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces. (1950)
