Studio Visit(12): Pollock

The quality of this little piece of film is abysmal but nevertheless it is a joy to watch Pollock paint. He moves like a dancer, completely immersed in what he’s doing.

For some reason I love the bit at the end where he flicks his cigarette…

I love that he explains in the bit how nothing in his paintings are there on accident. It's great to have that on a piece of film since so many who don't know him don't understand that he wasn't just tossing paint haphazardly.
