Jackson Pollock shocked the world with his now legendary drip paintings of the late 1940s. This portrait of the maverick painter depicts Pollock`s youth in the American West and reaches into the complex mind of the artist whose wildly original paintings altered the course of art history. In rare film footage, Pollock is shown in action: physical and fully focused, he slashes at canvases with a remarkable explosion of color and energy. This award-winning documentary offers insight into the genius of one of this century`s most provocative painters. Click here for information on the 5-part Strokes of Genius series
