Pollock

Duration: 2 hours

First broadcast: on BBC Two Northern IrelandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales

Biography about the successes and inner demons of the American artist Jackson Pollock. Abstract expressionism revolutionised American painting in the 1940s, but with it came fame and stress for Pollock. Saved by fellow painter Lee Krasner from self-doubt, impotent rage and drunkeness, it is only a matter of time before he again finds himself hurtling towards self-destruction. Show less
