about the artist
Jackson Pollock, Orange Head,1938-1942, Collection Lee Krasner Pollock, Courtesy Jason McCoy Inc., New York

At 26 Pollock suffered a breakdown caused in part by creative blocks and alcoholic binges. Sessions with a Jungian psychoanalyst made him aware that emotions had become the central challenge in his life and work.
