Jackson Pollock.
The catalog that accompanies the Museum of Modern Art's sweeping Pollock retrospective is beautiful and sumptuous, and a noteworthy work of scholarship. Especially insightful is the essay "Pollock at Work: The Films and Photographs of Hans Namuth" by adjunct assistant curator Pepe Karmel. Karmel has scrutinized every frame of every piece of film ever taken of Pollock painting, producing an absolutely extraordinary exploration of the painter's technique. Frame by frame commentary points up the contrast between fast-looking marks and the slow, deliberate movements by which they were made (and vice versa).
