EXERCISE A: Read the following text and answer the multiple choice questions.

"Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote thatmy pictures didnt have any beginning or any end. He didnt mean it as a compliment, but it was."

Jackson Pollock

Born on January 28, 1912, in Cody, Wyoming, Jackson Pollock remains one of America's mostcontroversial artists. He was both renowned and criticized for his conventions.During his youth, Pollock's family moved throughout Arizona and California, his father, analcoholic, left the family when the artist was eight. Later on, he enrolled in the Manual Arts HighSchool, where he learned to draw but had little success expressing himself. He was eventuallyexpelled for starting fights. When he was 18, Pollock moved to New York City to live with hisbrother, Charles. He soon began studying with Charles's art teacher, representational regionalistpainterThomas Hart Benton.Pollock spent much of his time with Benton, often babysittingBenton's young son, and the Bentons eventually became like the family Pollock felt he never had.

Pollock admired Pablo Picasso and soon he decided to leave traditional techniques to exploreabstraction expressionism via his splatter and action pieces, which involved pouring paint andother media directly onto canvases.

"Sometimes I use a brush, but often prefer using a stick. Sometimes I pour the paint straight outof the can. I like to use a dripping fluid paint. A method of painting has a natural growth out of aneed. I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them," he used to say. It was this desireto find a more direct form of expression that led to Pollock and his contemporaries being calledthe 'abstract impressionists'.

Pollock led life to the full, it was a troubled existence which led to a violent death. He died after

driving drunk and crashing into a tree in New York in 1956, at age 44.

"Artist and friend Cile Downs said once, "It's a lot easier to think about the drama of his historythan it is to think about what he did in the realm of art."
