Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This study examines the nature of Jackson Pollock's painting, the imagery within its outwardly abstract appearance and the mythology surrounding Pollock himself. It is suggested that his reception in postwar Europe was coloured by prevailing European attitudes towards America in general.

Published to coincide with the exhibition Jackson Pollock organized by the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 81) and index.
