Jackson Pollock Prints and Multiples
American, 1912-1956
More than just a painter, Jackson Pollock is an American cultural icon. Widely known for his “drip painting” technique, Pollock stood at the forefront of Abstract Expressionism, to the point that his name has become nearly synonymous with the movement. He was deeply respected by his contemporaries, and Pollock’s paintings, prints and other art — as well as his commitment to the work — influenced artists around the world.
With chaotic elegance, lines hypnotically dance and weave across Pollock’s canvases. He believed his art should come from the unconscious and be a representation of one’s truest self. He extended this expectation to other artists, judging them on the authenticity of their expression above their technical expertise, while disdaining work he considered contrived or disingenuous.
The artist was born Paul Jackson Pollock in Cody, Wyoming, in 1912. His family relocated to California before he was a year old. Over the next 16 years, Pollock and his family moved nine times between California and Arizona.
In 1928, they moved to Los Angeles, where he met Frederick John de St. Vrain Schwankovsky, a painter, illustrator and member of the Theosophical Society, a group dedicated to occult and metaphysical spirituality. Schwankovsky was Pollock’s earliest artistic influence, introducing him to European modern art and encouraging him on his spiritual journey.
In 1930, Pollock joined his brother Charles in New York City. He dropped his first name, now going only by Jackson, and enrolled in the Art Students League of New York, studying under American painter Thomas Hart Benton. He left the League in 1933 and found work two years later, employed by the WPA Federal Art Project as an easel painter. This opportunity enabled him to practice his art while also enjoying financial security.
Throughout much of his life, Pollock battled alcohol addiction and struggled with mental illness. In 1937, he began alcoholism treatment and was institutionalized for four months after a breakdown in 1938.
In 1943, the WPA contract ended. Pollock immediately began to work with Peggy Guggenheim at her New York gallery and had his first solo show that year at the storied heiress-turned-art-patron’s space. Two years later, he married the celebrated painter Lee Krasner, an artist who played a pivotal role in Abstract Expressionism, although her exceptional contributions to it were largely overshadowed by those of her male contemporaries, such as Pollock. Krasner provided him with much-needed stability, and together, they moved to South Hampton, Long Island.
Throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s, Pollock had periodic solo shows, hosted by Guggenheim’s gallery until 1947. From there, Betty Parsons Gallery handled his exhibitions until 1952, when Sidney Janis Gallery took over hosting them for the remainder of Pollock’s life. In 1948, Pollock painted Number 17A, an oil-on-fiberboard work he created using his signature drip technique. It is one of the most expensive paintings in the world.
Pollock died in 1956 in an alcohol-related car accident. Shortly after his death, the Museum of Modern Art in New York held a retrospective in his honor.
Although many critics derided Pollock’s work while he was alive, focusing on his method rather than the vision of his work, others revered his style, his methods and his artistic honesty. Today, collectors consider Jackson Pollock one of history’s artistic greats.

Bright Vibrant Pop Art Silkscreen Lithograph Print NYC Abstract Expressionist
By William Scharf
Located in Surfside, FL
Red Angel, intensely and seductively colored: swooning purples and reds, ecstatic lemon yellows, and black construction paper. Jostling shapes, geometric and biomorphic, lyrical and hard-edged, refuse to resolve neatly Assemblage, a bold strategy to keep viewers unsettled and curious, the reward for which are profuse and luscious details: varied incidents of refinement, suggestive signs, most in a private code, not merely ornamental but integral to the overall message.
William Scharf (born 1927, Media, PA) is an American artist from New York, he teaches at The Art Students League of New York. Painting with acrylics, he was a member of the New York School movement. Often categorized as a late generation Abstract Expressionist, Known for producing paintings with abstract compositions incorporating biomorphic and geometric forms in vivid colors, the artist was influenced by Surrealism, the Color Field painters, and symbolism.
He apprenticed with Mark Rothko and was influenced by his color field paintings. The surrealist painter Arshile Gorky and the Abstract expressionism style found in 1950s New York City also influenced Scharf. His exhibits include San Francisco Art Institute (1969), the Pepperdine University's Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art (2001), and Richard York Gallery in New York City (2004).
In the heyday of Abstract Expressionism, being serious meant following the tenets of the New York School, which required abstract paintings to be spontaneous improvisations, the messier the better. At once hedonistic and disciplined, his brazen paintings are nothing if not promiscuous. The best ones mix the dynamism of gestural abstraction with sensual rhythms of decorative patterning, sometimes souping up the stew with cartoonish symbols and flourishes so ripe they belong in a dandy's fantasies. His exhibits include San Francisco Art Institute (1969), the Pepperdine University's Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art (2001) and Richard York Gallery in New York City (2004).
Scharf's work has been exhibited in a number of galleries, including the Anita Shapolsky Gallery, Meredith Ward Fine Art, and Hollis Taggart Galleries in New York City.
Scharf has been an instructor of art at various institutions including The Art Students League, the San Francisco Art Institute, and the School of Visual Arts in New York. He is a member of the Society of Illustrators and the Artists Equity Association.
