Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:33,929 --> 00:02:36,523
Who's the greatest drummer
in the world?
2
00:02:41,529 --> 00:02:42,882
Krupa.
3
00:02:43,929 --> 00:02:45,681
- You got it.
- That guy cooks.
4
00:02:45,849 --> 00:02:48,807
You're damn right, I got it.
5
00:02:50,889 --> 00:02:52,641
Fuck Picasso.
6
00:02:52,809 --> 00:02:54,720
That fucking guy.
7
00:02:55,289 --> 00:03:00,488
Fuck Picasso! Fuck Picasso--
8
00:03:03,169 --> 00:03:07,560
Fucking guy...
Fucking guy's done it all.
9
00:03:09,809 --> 00:03:15,122
- You're doing good work.
- No, I'm not. I'm not worth shit.
10
00:03:17,009 --> 00:03:21,525
- It's not worth shit, Sande.
- Get on your feet.
11
00:03:34,009 --> 00:03:36,728
We're having a child, Sande.
12
00:03:38,369 --> 00:03:39,643
He's my brother.
13
00:03:39,809 --> 00:03:42,960
I'm not going to put up
with it anymore.
14
00:03:45,529 --> 00:03:50,603
The government stated yesterday that
its patience with Japan was exhausted.
15
00:03:50,769 --> 00:03:55,399
After two weeks of negotiations between
Japanese and American officials...
16
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:58,766
...Secretary of State Hull declared
that another Japanese move...
17
00:03:58,929 --> 00:04:01,489
... into Thailand
would not be tolerated.
18
00:04:01,649 --> 00:04:03,765
The effect of the statement
seemed to be...
19
00:04:03,929 --> 00:04:06,079
It's hot.
20
00:04:07,089 --> 00:04:10,365
In other news,
the first complete--
21
00:05:42,049 --> 00:05:43,402
Jackson Pollock?
22
00:05:44,569 --> 00:05:46,525
I'm Lee Krasner.
23
00:05:46,689 --> 00:05:49,362
We're in John Graham's show together.
24
00:05:49,529 --> 00:05:52,043
You're working?
25
00:05:53,969 --> 00:05:59,441
It's pretty big-time stuff to be hanging
with Picasso and Braque and that kind.
26
00:06:03,249 --> 00:06:07,845
I thought I knew all the abstract artists
in New York, and I don't know Pollock.
27
00:06:08,009 --> 00:06:11,206
Here's a name I've never heard of.
28
00:06:11,369 --> 00:06:13,929
So, being cheeky,
I just hoofed it over here.
29
00:06:14,089 --> 00:06:17,320
I could come back
another time.
30
00:06:17,529 --> 00:06:22,045
- No, it's--
- Could I see your work?
31
00:06:38,649 --> 00:06:41,766
I don't know what I expected,
but my God...
32
00:06:41,929 --> 00:06:44,238
- Who do you study with?
- Nobody.
33
00:06:44,409 --> 00:06:45,888
Did you ever?
34
00:06:46,089 --> 00:06:49,206
- Thom Benton.
- Benton?
35
00:06:49,369 --> 00:06:51,360
You don't paint like Benton.
36
00:06:51,569 --> 00:06:55,721
Carl Jung and John Graham
helped me get over Benton.
37
00:06:56,769 --> 00:06:59,442
Which one are you showing?
38
00:07:01,289 --> 00:07:02,688
That one.
39
00:07:05,689 --> 00:07:10,285
- I'm not sure I'm finished with it.
- I don't think you should touch it.
40
00:07:17,689 --> 00:07:21,318
I'd like it if you would come
to my studio. Would you?
41
00:07:21,809 --> 00:07:23,288
Yeah. Sure.
42
00:07:23,489 --> 00:07:27,926
- I'm just around the corner. Would you?
- Yeah. Thanks.
43
00:07:29,969 --> 00:07:31,482
It's 23.
44
00:07:35,009 --> 00:07:40,288
Twenty-three East Ninth.
45
00:07:40,449 --> 00:07:46,081
Really, yes. You don't have to
give me a "when." Just pop on over.
46
00:08:30,369 --> 00:08:34,078
I didn't think it would take you
three weeks to come by.
47
00:08:34,249 --> 00:08:38,925
- It hasn't been three weeks.
- To the day.
48
00:08:47,009 --> 00:08:51,525
It's not mine.
I didn't do it. Ex- lover.
49
00:08:53,369 --> 00:08:55,758
That one I did 10 years ago.
50
00:09:11,849 --> 00:09:13,885
Interesting.
51
00:09:21,009 --> 00:09:25,287
To whom shall I hire myself out?
What beast must I adore?
52
00:09:25,449 --> 00:09:29,442
What holy image is attack ed?
What hearts must I break?
53
00:09:29,609 --> 00:09:32,646
What lie must I maintain?
In what blood tread?
54
00:09:32,809 --> 00:09:36,006
Part of Rimbaud's Season in Hell.
55
00:09:38,049 --> 00:09:41,086
That's the one I'm putting
in the Graham show.
56
00:09:41,249 --> 00:09:43,809
That's a damn good picture.
57
00:09:44,009 --> 00:09:49,402
That works. You're a damn good
woman painter.
58
00:09:51,929 --> 00:09:54,363
- You want coffee?
- Yeah, sure. Thanks.
59
00:09:54,529 --> 00:09:57,282
- Well, let's go.
- What?
60
00:09:57,449 --> 00:10:00,486
You don't think I make it here?
61
00:10:02,489 --> 00:10:05,561
I met you before, you know.
62
00:10:06,649 --> 00:10:12,007
It was maybe five years ago.
A loft dance.
63
00:10:12,169 --> 00:10:14,637
You were six sheets to the wind.
64
00:10:14,809 --> 00:10:17,243
You cut in and stepped
all over my feet.
65
00:10:17,409 --> 00:10:20,128
Yeah. Got it. Right.
66
00:10:20,289 --> 00:10:25,317
- You were falling all over me.
- I'm sorry.
67
00:10:27,769 --> 00:10:32,081
You were overseas, you know.
It's kind of vivid in my memory.
68
00:10:34,049 --> 00:10:38,964
I thought, if you remembered,
to let you know it was okay.
69
00:10:39,129 --> 00:10:41,006
Thanks.
70
00:10:44,969 --> 00:10:46,766
Really.
71
00:10:57,769 --> 00:11:00,920
When did you study with Benton?
72
00:11:03,689 --> 00:11:05,566
'31.
73
00:11:07,889 --> 00:11:10,164
The Art Students League?
74
00:11:10,329 --> 00:11:15,084
My brother Charles
was studying with Benton...
75
00:11:15,249 --> 00:11:18,161
...and so I came out...
76
00:11:19,409 --> 00:11:22,048
...and joined him.
77
00:11:26,449 --> 00:11:28,565
Where are you from?
78
00:11:28,729 --> 00:11:32,642
Arizona. Actually, California.
79
00:11:37,809 --> 00:11:38,958
I'm from Brooklyn.
80
00:11:39,129 --> 00:11:41,768
I was just gonna ask you
where you were from.
81
00:11:41,929 --> 00:11:46,366
My parents came over from Russia.
I'm from right here.
82
00:11:47,329 --> 00:11:48,478
Russia.
83
00:14:28,609 --> 00:14:30,645
Potatoes.
84
00:14:31,409 --> 00:14:33,684
Thanks.
85
00:14:50,569 --> 00:14:54,278
Did you people eat
like this all the time?
86
00:15:03,449 --> 00:15:07,044
How long will you be
in the city, Mrs. Pollock?
87
00:15:07,289 --> 00:15:09,564
For a spell.
88
00:15:09,729 --> 00:15:13,563
We've asked Mother to come
live with us in Connecticut.
89
00:15:14,569 --> 00:15:18,118
Sande found out they're thinking of
drafting married men with children...
90
00:15:18,289 --> 00:15:21,759
...who aren't involved
in war production.
91
00:15:22,769 --> 00:15:26,921
I took a job in Connecticut.
Deep River.
92
00:15:27,889 --> 00:15:31,120
Making gliders for the Army.
93
00:15:31,729 --> 00:15:34,641
Gee, that's great, Sande.
94
00:15:37,249 --> 00:15:39,319
That's swell. Congratulations.
95
00:15:39,529 --> 00:15:42,885
Not everyone can arrange
to be 4-F, Jack.
96
00:15:45,529 --> 00:15:48,202
Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa...
No one greater.
97
00:15:48,409 --> 00:15:51,321
- Harry James on trumpet.
- The apartment will be all yours.
98
00:15:51,489 --> 00:15:54,049
You'll have lots of space.
99
00:16:32,289 --> 00:16:34,245
Is this the best hotel
you could find?
100
00:16:34,409 --> 00:16:37,048
- What's she doing here?
- Lee's gonna take you home.
101
00:16:37,449 --> 00:16:41,078
- What's she doing here?
- You need to get cleaned up.
102
00:17:01,329 --> 00:17:03,718
Feed him some milk
and some eggs.
103
00:17:14,649 --> 00:17:16,287
- Okay.
- Come on.
104
00:17:16,889 --> 00:17:19,449
It's okay. It's okay.
105
00:18:04,449 --> 00:18:07,009
Thank you.
106
00:18:18,929 --> 00:18:24,561
You've gotta see his work.
No one is doing what Pollock is doing.
107
00:18:25,449 --> 00:18:29,681
Yes, of course. It would be just great
if you could stop by.
108
00:18:29,849 --> 00:18:33,808
Wonderful.
We'll look forward to it. Bye.
109
00:18:51,809 --> 00:18:54,403
Jackson, breakfast is on the table.
110
00:19:00,129 --> 00:19:01,801
Lee.
111
00:19:03,129 --> 00:19:05,245
Reuben.
112
00:19:05,569 --> 00:19:06,684
Hello.
113
00:19:06,889 --> 00:19:10,723
- Lee Krasner, Howard Putzel.
- How nice to meet you.
114
00:19:10,889 --> 00:19:14,768
Howard's been working
with Peggy Guggenheim.
115
00:19:15,009 --> 00:19:17,762
Howard, of course.
116
00:19:17,969 --> 00:19:22,997
Reuben's here with Howard Putzel.
He works with Peggy Guggenheim.
117
00:19:27,609 --> 00:19:30,282
When did you get back?
118
00:19:30,809 --> 00:19:32,925
I thought you were in Los Angeles.
119
00:19:33,089 --> 00:19:34,886
- They stationed me in Brooklyn.
- Look at you!
120
00:19:35,049 --> 00:19:38,519
- This is Howard Putzel.
- I am so pleased to meet you.
121
00:19:38,689 --> 00:19:41,362
- I've known this guy since high school.
- I met Howard in L.A...
122
00:19:41,529 --> 00:19:44,885
...before he hooked up with Peggy.
We ran into each other yesterday.
123
00:19:45,049 --> 00:19:49,486
- How are Barbara and the kids?
- They're coming out in a couple weeks.
124
00:19:49,649 --> 00:19:52,561
- How long you here for?
- They're gonna ship me to India.
125
00:19:52,729 --> 00:19:55,482
- What about you?
- 4-F.
126
00:19:55,689 --> 00:19:59,841
- Too neurotic.
- You dog.
127
00:20:20,729 --> 00:20:22,799
Genius.
128
00:20:24,009 --> 00:20:26,079
Peggy must see this.
129
00:20:36,289 --> 00:20:39,838
- Hi, how are you?
- Hi, Lee.
130
00:20:40,009 --> 00:20:42,477
Come on, Jackson.
131
00:20:47,089 --> 00:20:50,604
Come here, Jackson.
Peggy Guggenheim.
132
00:20:50,769 --> 00:20:52,680
I'm so glad you made it.
133
00:20:52,849 --> 00:20:56,603
Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock,
James Sweeney from the Modern.
134
00:20:56,769 --> 00:20:58,964
- Nice to meet you.
- Miss Peggy Guggenheim.
135
00:20:59,129 --> 00:21:00,608
Hello.
136
00:21:00,769 --> 00:21:03,806
Mr. Pollock, Howard
has been talking about you.
137
00:21:03,969 --> 00:21:06,483
Thank you, Howard.
You must see Jackson's work.
138
00:21:06,649 --> 00:21:08,799
Yes. Well, enjoy yourself.
139
00:21:09,289 --> 00:21:12,122
- I like those earrings.
- Thank you.
140
00:21:15,289 --> 00:21:16,688
It's great, Howard.
141
00:21:16,849 --> 00:21:20,922
But there's not one American painter
in the whole goddamn show.
142
00:22:30,689 --> 00:22:33,203
What's this?
143
00:22:35,049 --> 00:22:39,759
I see the head, the body...
144
00:22:40,969 --> 00:22:46,043
This isn't cubism. You're not breaking
down the figure into multiple views.
145
00:22:46,209 --> 00:22:49,599
You're just showing us one side.
146
00:22:49,769 --> 00:22:54,524
Well, what is this?
Free association? Automatism?
147
00:22:54,689 --> 00:22:58,523
- I'm just painting, Lee.
- But what are you doing, Jackson?
148
00:22:58,689 --> 00:23:02,125
Don't tell me you don't know
what you're doing.
149
00:23:03,889 --> 00:23:07,677
Are you experimenting
with surrealism?
150
00:23:08,449 --> 00:23:11,407
Is this a dream?
151
00:23:12,329 --> 00:23:16,402
Even if it's a dream, it's still
what you see. It's life.
152
00:23:16,569 --> 00:23:19,242
You're not just randomly
putting paint on the canvas.
153
00:23:19,409 --> 00:23:21,206
You're painting something.
154
00:23:21,369 --> 00:23:25,601
You can't abstract from nothing.
You can only abstract from life.
155
00:23:25,769 --> 00:23:28,567
- From nature.
- I am nature.
156
00:23:28,729 --> 00:23:32,358
If you only work from inside yourself,
you'll repeat yourself.
157
00:23:32,529 --> 00:23:35,362
Why don't you paint
the fucking thing.
158
00:23:38,689 --> 00:23:43,126
O the moon shone bright on Mrs. Porter
And on her daughter
159
00:23:43,289 --> 00:23:47,043
- They wash their feet in soda water
- What the hell's that?
160
00:23:47,209 --> 00:23:49,848
Eliot. T.S. Eliot.
161
00:23:50,009 --> 00:23:52,079
Gentlemen, T.S. Eliot.
162
00:23:53,289 --> 00:23:55,086
T.S. Eliot.
163
00:23:57,009 --> 00:23:59,477
Did you hear Gorky
sold to the Modern?
164
00:23:59,649 --> 00:24:02,038
Gorky's a cow.
165
00:24:02,249 --> 00:24:06,037
They forage and eat, and they come back
to the stable and they're still chewing.
166
00:24:06,209 --> 00:24:09,963
He'll look at a Picasso for hours,
go to his studio and spit it out.
167
00:24:10,129 --> 00:24:12,723
- Fuck him.
- But he's so good at it.
168
00:24:12,929 --> 00:24:15,568
But we gotta break through this shit.
169
00:24:15,769 --> 00:24:19,398
- What do you think of Kline?
- Kline's a whore.
170
00:24:20,729 --> 00:24:22,401
- Picasso?
- A has-been.
171
00:24:23,569 --> 00:24:25,719
De Kooning?
172
00:24:27,249 --> 00:24:30,002
He's all right. He's learning.
173
00:24:32,089 --> 00:24:35,286
What do you think
of Jackson Pollock?
174
00:24:38,329 --> 00:24:41,207
That's what we think.
175
00:24:47,129 --> 00:24:50,758
- Watch it.
- Jackson!
176
00:24:52,969 --> 00:24:54,960
Come on.
177
00:24:58,889 --> 00:25:00,481
Honey...
178
00:25:03,609 --> 00:25:07,443
I've just climbed up and down five
flights of stairs. I'm Peggy Guggenheim.
179
00:25:07,649 --> 00:25:12,359
I do not climb up five flights
of stairs to nobody home. Not I.
180
00:25:12,529 --> 00:25:16,442
- I do not climb five flights of stairs.
- We're sorry.
181
00:25:16,609 --> 00:25:19,806
"Sorry" is not the word for it.
I have weak ankles.
182
00:25:20,009 --> 00:25:24,685
- My fault.
- My God, and you're drunk.
183
00:25:25,009 --> 00:25:26,488
You're drunk. Are you drunk?
184
00:25:26,689 --> 00:25:28,725
- No.
- No.
185
00:25:50,289 --> 00:25:54,567
" L.K."? Who the hell is L.K.?
I didn't come here to look at L.K.
186
00:25:54,729 --> 00:25:57,926
Peggy, this way.
187
00:26:13,649 --> 00:26:16,800
Now, these show something.
This is better.
188
00:26:16,969 --> 00:26:19,278
The most powerful work
to come around the pike.
189
00:26:19,449 --> 00:26:22,009
There's no three ways about it.
190
00:26:22,169 --> 00:26:27,482
You're not really a surrealist
and, well, my few Americans are.
191
00:26:27,649 --> 00:26:30,721
What's most impressed Jackson
about the European moderns...
192
00:26:30,889 --> 00:26:36,282
...is their concept that the source
of art comes from the unconscious.
193
00:26:36,449 --> 00:26:37,768
Yes, yes. I'm sure.
194
00:26:47,249 --> 00:26:51,527
Howard. Jackson, Howard's here.
195
00:26:51,689 --> 00:26:54,283
Do you want coffee?
196
00:26:56,489 --> 00:26:58,002
- Jackson?
- Yeah.
197
00:26:58,169 --> 00:27:00,364
Howard's here.
198
00:27:00,729 --> 00:27:02,162
Hi, Howard.
199
00:27:02,369 --> 00:27:06,078
You've got your first one-man show.
Art of This Century, November 7th.
200
00:27:06,249 --> 00:27:09,127
- Bravo, Jackson.
- Congratulations.
201
00:27:09,329 --> 00:27:11,047
Here, have a seat.
202
00:27:12,849 --> 00:27:17,559
Peggy will give you a stipend
of $150 a month.
203
00:27:17,729 --> 00:27:21,039
" If at year's end the artist does not
sell equivalent to the advance...
204
00:27:21,209 --> 00:27:25,487
...plus one-third commission, he will
make up the difference in paintings."
205
00:27:25,649 --> 00:27:30,040
If you don't sell $2400 worth,
Peggy owns all the work. So sell.
206
00:27:30,249 --> 00:27:33,685
In addition, Peggy has
commissioned you to paint...
207
00:27:33,889 --> 00:27:38,883
...a mural for the entrance hall to her
new townhouse on 61 st and Lexington.
208
00:27:39,049 --> 00:27:42,121
And it's big, Jackson.
Eight feet by 20 feet.
209
00:27:42,289 --> 00:27:45,998
You have total artistic license.
Paint anything you like.
210
00:27:46,209 --> 00:27:49,281
You will be the sensation
of the season.
211
00:27:59,289 --> 00:28:01,757
This is my new painter,
Jackson Pollock.
212
00:28:04,409 --> 00:28:06,798
You know James Johnson.
213
00:28:07,129 --> 00:28:09,768
Tony, you know
Peggy Guggenheim, don't you?
214
00:28:09,929 --> 00:28:14,081
Tony Smith.
He's a wonderful architect.
215
00:28:15,809 --> 00:28:17,606
- Will.
- Hi.
216
00:28:17,769 --> 00:28:18,758
Mr. de Kooning.
217
00:28:18,969 --> 00:28:20,448
- Jackson.
- Mom.
218
00:28:20,609 --> 00:28:25,888
My, my, my. God is good.
219
00:28:27,009 --> 00:28:29,762
- How are you, Mom?
- I'm fine.
220
00:28:29,929 --> 00:28:33,001
- Who is this?
- Peggy Guggenheim. This is my mother.
221
00:28:33,169 --> 00:28:34,966
- How do you do?
- Lovely to meet you.
222
00:28:35,129 --> 00:28:38,246
- This is James Johnson Sweeney.
- You must be proud.
223
00:28:38,409 --> 00:28:39,762
Of all my boys.
224
00:28:39,929 --> 00:28:42,727
Jack, it looks great.
225
00:28:42,889 --> 00:28:47,917
- Well, enjoy.
- Yes, I will. Thank you all.
226
00:28:56,529 --> 00:28:59,248
I don't know what
he's trying to achieve.
227
00:29:01,569 --> 00:29:04,641
This isn't painting.
228
00:29:06,849 --> 00:29:09,807
- Are you leaving?
- I don't think it's so hot.
229
00:29:09,969 --> 00:29:11,925
Well, go back and look again.
230
00:29:12,089 --> 00:29:17,243
Lee, he's original. He's ambitious.
But there's a lot of mud...
231
00:29:17,409 --> 00:29:23,723
...and the titles are pretentious.
Muddiness... Mud abounds.
232
00:29:23,889 --> 00:29:26,562
Go back, Clem, and look again.
233
00:29:32,929 --> 00:29:35,397
- Read it. Read it.
- Wait a minute. Okay.
234
00:29:35,569 --> 00:29:40,404
"Jackson Pollock is participating
in his first one-man show.
235
00:29:40,569 --> 00:29:45,199
Being young and full of energy,
he takes orders he can't fill."
236
00:29:45,369 --> 00:29:47,007
- Thanks a lot, Clem.
- Listen.
237
00:29:47,169 --> 00:29:50,718
" Pollock has gone through
the influences of Mir�, Picasso...
238
00:29:50,889 --> 00:29:54,768
...Mexican painting and whatnot,
and has come out on the other side...
239
00:29:54,929 --> 00:29:57,397
...painting mostly
with his own brush."
240
00:29:57,569 --> 00:30:00,083
- Not bad.
- " Mostly with his own brush"?
241
00:30:00,249 --> 00:30:02,717
- He's saying you're an original.
- Not one sale.
242
00:30:02,889 --> 00:30:04,641
Rome wasn't built in one day.
243
00:30:54,929 --> 00:30:58,239
What do you see there, Pollock?
244
00:30:59,529 --> 00:31:02,521
You've been looking at it for weeks.
245
00:31:03,929 --> 00:31:06,807
Peggy's threatening to reconsider.
246
00:34:24,609 --> 00:34:26,918
Oh, my God.
247
00:35:10,009 --> 00:35:13,638
Is he doing what I think he's doing?
248
00:35:20,169 --> 00:35:21,841
Sorry.
249
00:35:23,249 --> 00:35:26,366
Happy New Year, everyone.
250
00:36:08,409 --> 00:36:13,927
That the mural goes on and on,
Clem says, is what makes it so good.
251
00:36:14,089 --> 00:36:16,364
He thinks it's a great painting.
252
00:36:16,569 --> 00:36:20,084
I think you've found
yourself a champion.
253
00:36:20,249 --> 00:36:23,321
It's all bullshit anyway.
254
00:36:23,489 --> 00:36:26,640
- Do you like it?
- I love it.
255
00:36:28,929 --> 00:36:32,126
You've had a lot of lovers.
256
00:36:32,409 --> 00:36:36,288
- My share. You want to talk about that?
- You want to go to bed.
257
00:36:36,449 --> 00:36:39,247
- I had something like that in mind.
- I'll take you up on it.
258
00:36:39,409 --> 00:36:44,085
I don't think you realize how hard
I work to get people interested in you...
259
00:36:44,249 --> 00:36:48,083
...to get you into the right hands,
and then you act so badly.
260
00:36:48,249 --> 00:36:54,597
You remind me of a trapped animal.
Promise me, do not rip up my bedroom.
261
00:36:57,569 --> 00:36:59,287
All right, wait a minute.
262
00:36:59,449 --> 00:37:02,919
Wait. No, wait!
263
00:37:03,089 --> 00:37:05,080
Shit.
264
00:37:07,129 --> 00:37:10,724
Shit. Shit.
265
00:37:42,329 --> 00:37:45,480
I went out looking for you.
266
00:37:47,289 --> 00:37:50,440
- What are you doing to yourself?
- Nothing.
267
00:37:50,609 --> 00:37:53,328
You're doing more than that.
268
00:37:53,489 --> 00:37:59,200
It's like a storm. It'll pass.
269
00:38:07,449 --> 00:38:09,724
- You hear about Howard?
- Putzel?
270
00:38:09,889 --> 00:38:12,528
Yeah, he's dead.
271
00:38:13,849 --> 00:38:16,443
Heart attack.
272
00:38:16,969 --> 00:38:19,688
I liked Howard.
273
00:38:23,729 --> 00:38:27,119
- To Howard.
- Yeah.
274
00:38:27,289 --> 00:38:30,167
Here's to you, Howard.
275
00:38:38,409 --> 00:38:40,923
Barb and I and the kids...
276
00:38:41,089 --> 00:38:45,207
...we're gonna rent a house
on Long lsland this summer.
277
00:38:46,049 --> 00:38:49,883
We want you and Lee
to come out there with us.
278
00:38:50,609 --> 00:38:53,681
You gotta get out
of the city for a while.
279
00:38:53,849 --> 00:38:57,125
I ain't doing no harm here.
280
00:38:59,809 --> 00:39:03,006
Come on, Jack,
let me take you home.
281
00:39:05,809 --> 00:39:10,678
- Lee's gonna be worried sick.
- I'm doing no harm.
282
00:39:15,889 --> 00:39:17,242
Take it easy.
283
00:40:26,569 --> 00:40:29,037
I've had enough.
284
00:40:29,769 --> 00:40:31,919
Take me in.
285
00:40:58,009 --> 00:41:00,159
Deck of cards.
286
00:41:04,609 --> 00:41:06,122
Binoculars.
287
00:41:08,409 --> 00:41:10,479
I got it.
288
00:41:11,209 --> 00:41:14,326
I want to get married, Pollock.
289
00:41:14,969 --> 00:41:17,199
I suddenly want to.
290
00:41:17,369 --> 00:41:22,397
So either we marry
or we split, I think.
291
00:41:26,329 --> 00:41:29,480
I love you.
I think you're a great artist.
292
00:41:29,649 --> 00:41:32,482
I want you to paint.
293
00:41:33,489 --> 00:41:39,280
I want very much
to keep living with you...
294
00:41:39,449 --> 00:41:43,237
...but I want that commitment
from you too.
295
00:41:51,449 --> 00:41:54,680
You'll have to make the decision.
296
00:41:59,369 --> 00:42:03,840
Who's that girl you were so gaga over?
The one that played the banjo?
297
00:42:04,009 --> 00:42:05,078
Becky.
298
00:42:05,249 --> 00:42:07,046
Becky Tarwater.
299
00:42:07,209 --> 00:42:12,567
- God, you were so crazy for her.
- I asked her to marry me.
300
00:42:12,729 --> 00:42:16,517
- What did she say?
- No.
301
00:42:19,249 --> 00:42:23,686
You know that part of our lives
that's supposed to be so special...
302
00:42:23,849 --> 00:42:28,445
...that growing up part?
It was damn hell for me.
303
00:42:28,609 --> 00:42:31,726
It's supposed to be lousy
so the rest is gonna seem easier.
304
00:42:31,889 --> 00:42:34,528
Yeah, only it isn't.
305
00:42:37,529 --> 00:42:39,167
Daddy, Uncle Jackson, come play.
306
00:42:39,329 --> 00:42:42,958
- What are you doing?
- Where are you going?
307
00:42:48,009 --> 00:42:50,318
Oh, my God.
308
00:43:03,009 --> 00:43:06,319
Jackson, you want a sandwich?
309
00:43:09,849 --> 00:43:11,567
We could move out here.
310
00:43:12,449 --> 00:43:14,599
Leave New York?
311
00:43:14,769 --> 00:43:18,000
It would be good for us.
312
00:43:24,009 --> 00:43:26,842
Church wedding.
313
00:43:32,529 --> 00:43:37,159
- Jackson, there's no need--
- Church wedding or nothing.
314
00:43:37,889 --> 00:43:42,360
- No family, please.
- No family.
315
00:43:46,289 --> 00:43:48,519
We'll need a witness.
316
00:43:48,689 --> 00:43:50,247
May Rosenberg.
317
00:43:50,409 --> 00:43:54,243
- And Harold.
- No Harold.
318
00:43:59,329 --> 00:44:01,604
What church?
319
00:44:01,849 --> 00:44:04,886
That's a good question.
320
00:44:42,369 --> 00:44:45,406
- Come here.
- I'm coming.
321
00:44:46,809 --> 00:44:50,722
You're gonna break your back, Jackson.
322
00:44:52,209 --> 00:44:55,201
Here, hold this for me.
323
00:45:02,649 --> 00:45:05,322
You can't find the keys?
324
00:45:05,489 --> 00:45:06,968
Come on.
325
00:45:09,329 --> 00:45:12,241
Be careful.
326
00:45:58,369 --> 00:46:00,439
Look at that.
327
00:46:05,569 --> 00:46:08,083
This is good.
328
00:46:08,449 --> 00:46:10,519
Come on.
329
00:46:17,569 --> 00:46:20,037
I don't think I've ever seen
a fox before.
330
00:46:20,209 --> 00:46:24,168
- He was beautiful, wasn't he?
- His coat was gorgeous.
331
00:46:24,329 --> 00:46:27,685
I bet there's deer around here too.
332
00:47:19,369 --> 00:47:22,167
I guess I'll paint in the house.
333
00:47:41,889 --> 00:47:46,201
- You're all set. See you next time.
- Thank you.
334
00:47:52,449 --> 00:47:54,167
Howdy.
335
00:48:04,889 --> 00:48:09,167
You're the fella moved
into the old Quinn place.
336
00:48:13,929 --> 00:48:15,601
Morning.
337
00:48:51,049 --> 00:48:53,927
You moved out from the city?
338
00:48:54,089 --> 00:48:57,843
I don't blame you. In a world
where they can split a tiny atom...
339
00:48:58,009 --> 00:49:00,762
...and blow up hundreds
of thousands of people...
340
00:49:00,929 --> 00:49:03,648
...there's no telling
where it's all gonna lead.
341
00:49:03,809 --> 00:49:07,404
Best to find a quiet place...
342
00:49:07,609 --> 00:49:09,679
...do what you have to do.
343
00:49:10,969 --> 00:49:13,324
You don't have to pay me now.
What's your name?
344
00:49:13,489 --> 00:49:17,641
- Jackson Pollock.
- Jackson Pollock.
345
00:49:18,649 --> 00:49:20,207
Yeah.
346
00:50:05,049 --> 00:50:08,644
We finally made it.
How are you braving the winter?
347
00:50:08,809 --> 00:50:13,246
- No coal, no hot water, no bathroom.
- Jack wants others to share the misery.
348
00:50:13,409 --> 00:50:17,243
- He loves it.
- How's he doing?
349
00:50:18,209 --> 00:50:22,088
It's good for him
to be away from the city.
350
00:50:22,249 --> 00:50:25,002
I guess you're here
to get Jackson drunk again.
351
00:50:25,169 --> 00:50:26,921
Lee.
352
00:50:27,489 --> 00:50:29,127
Well, let me think.
353
00:50:29,329 --> 00:50:31,684
I never actually got Jack drunk.
354
00:50:31,849 --> 00:50:35,000
I mean, he never really
needed any help.
355
00:50:36,929 --> 00:50:39,204
- He wrote us to spend the weekend.
- Rube--
356
00:50:39,409 --> 00:50:41,240
I'm sure you understand.
357
00:50:42,649 --> 00:50:44,526
Reuben.
358
00:51:28,649 --> 00:51:30,128
Come on.
359
00:51:37,169 --> 00:51:39,319
Okay.
360
00:51:42,769 --> 00:51:46,284
Hey, how you doing, fella?
Are you lost?
361
00:52:53,329 --> 00:52:56,446
I'm gonna have to find
me more space.
362
00:53:11,329 --> 00:53:14,207
How did it go in there today?
363
00:53:15,289 --> 00:53:19,487
I thought you might
make a table or something. Look.
364
00:53:21,369 --> 00:53:24,600
Get yourself working again.
365
00:54:53,249 --> 00:54:55,968
Hello, bub.
366
00:54:58,129 --> 00:55:02,088
- Let's make a baby.
- No.
367
00:55:03,169 --> 00:55:05,364
No?
368
00:55:08,209 --> 00:55:11,121
Am I missing something here?
369
00:55:11,289 --> 00:55:13,564
Are you missing something?
370
00:55:13,729 --> 00:55:16,766
- We can't.
- We can't?
371
00:55:16,929 --> 00:55:20,046
My life is full enough
with you, Jackson.
372
00:55:20,209 --> 00:55:23,519
Where are you going?
We're husband and wife.
373
00:55:23,689 --> 00:55:28,638
I want to have a baby, our baby.
That's what the progression is about.
374
00:55:28,809 --> 00:55:32,438
- That's what the union is about.
- That's not what the union is about.
375
00:55:32,609 --> 00:55:35,328
- What else is there?
- That's not what it's about.
376
00:55:35,529 --> 00:55:38,168
- For me!
- The vows don't stipulate " baby."
377
00:55:40,769 --> 00:55:45,047
I am not going to bring
another life into that.
378
00:55:51,249 --> 00:55:53,524
We are painters, Jackson.
379
00:55:54,849 --> 00:55:58,728
We don't have any money.
We don't get by. We struggle.
380
00:55:59,849 --> 00:56:02,761
You are a great artist.
381
00:56:02,929 --> 00:56:05,841
I believe in Jackson Pollock.
382
00:56:06,009 --> 00:56:11,686
There's you and there's the painting,
and you need! You need! You need!
383
00:56:17,689 --> 00:56:21,682
And I don't want to be anywhere else.
I don't want to be with...
384
00:56:21,849 --> 00:56:24,841
...anyone else.
385
00:56:26,609 --> 00:56:29,681
But that's all I can handle.
386
00:56:46,249 --> 00:56:48,558
- This is it?
- Please.
387
00:56:48,729 --> 00:56:51,926
- Let's go inside for lunch.
- It's beautiful here.
388
00:56:52,089 --> 00:56:55,604
- I want to see paintings.
- Let's go see the paintings.
389
00:56:55,769 --> 00:56:57,168
We just moved to the barn.
390
00:56:58,169 --> 00:57:03,197
- Jackson, they're here. Can we come in?
- Sure.
391
00:57:04,729 --> 00:57:07,038
- Jackson.
- Now be careful.
392
00:57:07,209 --> 00:57:11,282
- Jackson!
- Hi, Peggy.
393
00:57:11,449 --> 00:57:15,647
I want you to meet Alfonso Ossorio.
This is Jackson Pollock.
394
00:57:15,809 --> 00:57:19,165
And you know him.
Ted? Come on in.
395
00:57:19,689 --> 00:57:21,964
Ted Dragon,
this is Jackson Pollock.
396
00:57:22,129 --> 00:57:26,168
They came up for a preview of the show,
and I expect them to buy something.
397
00:57:26,329 --> 00:57:31,084
- It's beautiful. You must be happy.
- Damn near. The country's wonderful.
398
00:57:31,249 --> 00:57:35,003
Really, just enjoy.
Now this one I like very much.
399
00:57:35,169 --> 00:57:38,286
This was in my last fall show.
400
00:57:38,449 --> 00:57:41,885
You're retreating into
imagery again, Jackson.
401
00:57:42,049 --> 00:57:46,964
Paint is paint, surface is surface.
That's all they should be.
402
00:57:50,049 --> 00:57:52,882
Now this is...
403
00:57:54,049 --> 00:57:56,722
This is first-rate.
404
00:57:56,889 --> 00:58:00,677
Why don't you do
eight or 10 of those?
405
00:58:01,009 --> 00:58:05,207
Paint is paint, surface is surface.
That's all they should be.
406
00:58:05,409 --> 00:58:08,401
The surrealists confuse
literature with painting.
407
00:58:08,609 --> 00:58:11,965
I can't stand that.
They will not have their way.
408
00:58:12,169 --> 00:58:14,729
What you're doing out there
is better than anything...
409
00:58:14,889 --> 00:58:17,323
...I've seen from you
in a year or more.
410
00:58:17,489 --> 00:58:19,923
No, I gotta backtrack. Peggy's mural.
411
00:58:20,089 --> 00:58:23,240
That's when I thought,
" Here's a great painter."
412
00:58:23,409 --> 00:58:27,243
And people saying to me,
" It's wallpaper. It repeats itself."
413
00:58:27,449 --> 00:58:31,920
It's my plan to return to Europe. I don't
have the energy since Howard died.
414
00:58:32,089 --> 00:58:36,162
- But Jackson needs a gallery.
- Well...
415
00:58:43,849 --> 00:58:47,603
What was the one that missed?
The one that wasn't so good?
416
00:58:47,769 --> 00:58:51,921
You don't have colour yet. You're better
off when you keep your colour quiet.
417
00:58:52,089 --> 00:58:55,445
- Which one was it? I'll fix it.
- The one with all the blue.
418
00:58:55,609 --> 00:58:58,248
- It's predominantly blue.
- The wrong blue? Too much blue?
419
00:58:58,409 --> 00:59:01,640
All I want art to be is good.
The picture misses.
420
00:59:01,809 --> 00:59:05,484
- What do you think, Ted?
- It's interesting. I like blue.
421
00:59:05,649 --> 00:59:08,800
- What do you think, Alfonso?
- It's your painting.
422
00:59:08,969 --> 00:59:12,405
- You think it misses.
- Clem may have a point, and he may not.
423
00:59:12,569 --> 00:59:15,481
You think it misses?
You think it might miss?
424
00:59:15,649 --> 00:59:17,958
- You think it might miss?
- It might.
425
00:59:18,129 --> 00:59:20,962
It might. Well, I'll just
go fix it for you.
426
00:59:21,129 --> 00:59:24,166
- Is he all right, Lee?
- He's fine.
427
00:59:39,409 --> 00:59:42,321
So it's all the blue
that's bothering you?
428
00:59:42,529 --> 00:59:44,565
What else?
You want the colour quiet?
429
00:59:44,729 --> 00:59:49,519
- It could be a little quieter.
- Let's just quiet the colour then.
430
01:00:09,529 --> 01:00:12,441
Now this is something.
431
01:00:14,929 --> 01:00:18,046
- No matter how drunk you are--
- I'm not drunk.
432
01:00:18,249 --> 01:00:20,843
One thing's sacred for you.
433
01:00:21,009 --> 01:00:24,922
Not anybody's feelings
or anything like that.
434
01:00:25,529 --> 01:00:27,281
It's your art.
435
01:00:28,129 --> 01:00:31,485
You're not gonna destroy your art.
436
01:00:33,289 --> 01:00:36,042
This is something.
437
01:00:57,769 --> 01:01:01,284
He's had shows with you, Peggy.
He can't suddenly not have a gallery.
438
01:01:01,449 --> 01:01:03,883
You owe him.
439
01:01:04,049 --> 01:01:09,077
Sam won't take him.
What did Betty Parsons say?
440
01:01:10,129 --> 01:01:14,327
Everyone drinks.
He's not the only one.
441
01:01:14,489 --> 01:01:18,721
I know, but he's a great painter.
442
01:01:19,009 --> 01:01:22,479
Of course. Of course.
I'll call you back.
443
01:04:25,209 --> 01:04:28,007
I'll have supper ready in a jiffy.
444
01:04:28,169 --> 01:04:30,603
Looks like Betty Parsons
may take you in.
445
01:04:30,769 --> 01:04:33,966
Peggy's willing to continue the
monthly allowance through next year.
446
01:04:34,129 --> 01:04:36,438
She'll still own all
your unsold paintings...
447
01:04:36,609 --> 01:04:40,648
...but Betty will get a commission
on new work that sells.
448
01:05:14,289 --> 01:05:17,361
You've done it, Pollock.
449
01:05:17,649 --> 01:05:19,765
You've cracked it wide open.
450
01:06:07,169 --> 01:06:08,841
Pass.
451
01:06:10,769 --> 01:06:12,680
A nickel.
452
01:06:14,489 --> 01:06:16,320
I'll see your nickel...
453
01:06:16,489 --> 01:06:21,358
...and I'll raise you a quarter.
454
01:06:22,089 --> 01:06:23,966
I don't like the look of that smile.
455
01:06:24,129 --> 01:06:27,963
There is a smile of love and
there is a smile of deceit. I'm out.
456
01:06:28,409 --> 01:06:30,718
I'm out.
457
01:06:30,889 --> 01:06:34,245
- Too rich for my blood.
- Two twos.
458
01:06:34,769 --> 01:06:38,364
There is a smile of smiles
in which these two smiles meet.
459
01:06:38,529 --> 01:06:40,804
- William Blake.
- Such a bluffer.
460
01:06:41,049 --> 01:06:45,884
Jackson, did you hear
de Kooning sold to the Modern?
461
01:06:46,969 --> 01:06:48,084
Want me to deal?
462
01:06:48,249 --> 01:06:51,525
"A singular concentration
of passion and technique...
463
01:06:51,729 --> 01:06:53,799
...fierce energy, virtuosity."
464
01:06:54,009 --> 01:06:56,807
It doesn't hurt that his wife
is fucking the critic.
465
01:06:56,969 --> 01:06:58,402
- Who?
- De Kooning.
466
01:06:58,569 --> 01:07:02,926
I don't know if I'd agree with
"virtuosity," but it was a hell of a show.
467
01:07:03,089 --> 01:07:07,207
- Did you see the show?
- We're not in Siberia, Clem.
468
01:07:07,369 --> 01:07:09,166
So you're the critic now.
469
01:07:09,329 --> 01:07:11,797
No one knows I exist.
Who the hell's talking about me?
470
01:07:12,009 --> 01:07:15,479
- I write about every show you have.
- You're the only one.
471
01:07:15,649 --> 01:07:19,961
- What good does your praise do me?
- It's new stuff. Give it time.
472
01:07:20,129 --> 01:07:22,120
We're broke!
473
01:07:22,289 --> 01:07:25,565
I'm digging clams out of the bay.
I don't see de Kooning digging.
474
01:07:25,769 --> 01:07:28,567
Everyone is struggling.
It'll break for you soon.
475
01:07:28,729 --> 01:07:29,718
When?
476
01:07:29,929 --> 01:07:33,399
I just took part in a roundtable
on modern art...
477
01:07:33,569 --> 01:07:37,164
...held by LIFE magazine,
for God's sakes.
478
01:07:37,329 --> 01:07:40,321
America has become the centre
of Western civilization.
479
01:07:40,489 --> 01:07:44,402
You're doing the most original
and vigorous art in the country.
480
01:07:44,569 --> 01:07:49,962
- Other critics will catch on. Keep at it.
- Don't tell me to keep at it.
481
01:07:50,129 --> 01:07:52,085
I'm keeping at it!
482
01:07:52,249 --> 01:07:55,605
- Ante up.
- All right, I'm in.
483
01:07:57,409 --> 01:08:01,197
Did old Clem ruffle your feathers?
484
01:08:01,649 --> 01:08:04,607
- I love all women.
- You get off him!
485
01:08:04,769 --> 01:08:07,567
Get off me!
He can take care of himself!
486
01:08:07,729 --> 01:08:11,244
- This is my house, do you understand?!
- Crazy bitch.
487
01:08:11,409 --> 01:08:13,718
This is my house.
488
01:08:18,889 --> 01:08:20,845
Okay.
489
01:08:22,169 --> 01:08:24,683
Well, it's over. I'm glad that's over.
490
01:08:27,569 --> 01:08:29,400
Jackson.
491
01:08:30,849 --> 01:08:32,840
Jackson.
492
01:08:55,049 --> 01:08:57,722
I'll be right there.
493
01:09:01,009 --> 01:09:05,400
- Hey, Jackson.
- We owe you $56?
494
01:09:05,569 --> 01:09:09,039
That sounds about right.
495
01:09:42,689 --> 01:09:45,328
Hey there, Jackson.
496
01:10:03,849 --> 01:10:08,877
You ought to mind your own
fucking business, bub.
497
01:10:11,569 --> 01:10:14,561
Sande, if I can do it, you can too.
498
01:10:14,729 --> 01:10:18,165
It's been three weeks now.
Not a drop.
499
01:10:18,329 --> 01:10:20,559
Hell, I quit for good.
500
01:10:20,729 --> 01:10:24,085
We're still struggling,
but Alfonso and Ted bought a painting.
501
01:10:24,249 --> 01:10:28,242
We won't see any of the money till
I sell a bunch more, but guess what...
502
01:10:28,409 --> 01:10:32,880
Demarest Fund came through.
Fifteen hundred bucks.
503
01:10:33,049 --> 01:10:35,688
I bought a Model A.
Ninety bucks.
504
01:10:35,849 --> 01:10:39,364
No, I'm not kidding.
It's just like we used to have.
505
01:10:40,529 --> 01:10:44,807
Okay, would you put Mom back on?
I'd like to say good night.
506
01:10:45,369 --> 01:10:50,602
Okay, then. Well, tell them
good night from Uncle Jack.
507
01:11:44,209 --> 01:11:48,680
- I think the Macys are going to buy.
- Good.
508
01:11:49,649 --> 01:11:53,927
- Are you here?
- Well, that depends.
509
01:11:59,369 --> 01:12:04,489
I'm sorry, he's painting right now.
This is Lee Krasner, his wife.
510
01:12:06,129 --> 01:12:07,960
Yes.
511
01:12:12,409 --> 01:12:16,960
Of course. I'll let him know.
512
01:12:17,569 --> 01:12:19,878
Okay, bye.
513
01:12:22,489 --> 01:12:26,607
LIFE magazine. They want
to do an article on you.
514
01:12:28,369 --> 01:12:30,246
Damn.
515
01:12:32,729 --> 01:12:36,199
I don't let the image
carry the painting.
516
01:12:36,369 --> 01:12:39,600
If it creeps in,
I try to do away with it...
517
01:12:39,769 --> 01:12:42,488
...to let the painting come through.
518
01:12:42,649 --> 01:12:44,958
Hold it a minute there, please.
519
01:12:45,129 --> 01:12:48,246
Pollock spends hours
contemplating a painting.
520
01:12:48,409 --> 01:12:52,084
It may be days or even months
before he tackles it again.
521
01:12:52,289 --> 01:12:54,007
Who are your favourite artists?
522
01:12:54,209 --> 01:12:58,760
De Kooning, Kandinsky...
523
01:13:01,729 --> 01:13:04,926
El Greco, Goya, Rembrandt.
524
01:13:05,249 --> 01:13:07,524
How do you respond
to your critics?
525
01:13:07,689 --> 01:13:09,805
They have said,
"A mop of tangled hair."
526
01:13:09,969 --> 01:13:13,041
"A child's contour map
of the Battle of Gettysburg."
527
01:13:13,209 --> 01:13:15,882
" Cathartic disintegration."
What do you say?
528
01:13:16,049 --> 01:13:18,802
- You forgot, " Baked macaroni."
- Well?
529
01:13:18,969 --> 01:13:21,881
Well, if people would just...
530
01:13:22,049 --> 01:13:25,485
...leave most of their stuff at home
and look at the paintings...
531
01:13:25,649 --> 01:13:28,846
...I don't think they'd have
any trouble enjoying them.
532
01:13:29,009 --> 01:13:31,239
It's like looking at flowers.
533
01:13:31,409 --> 01:13:35,084
You don't tear your hair out
over what it means.
534
01:13:35,249 --> 01:13:39,208
How do you know when
you're finished with a painting?
535
01:13:39,809 --> 01:13:43,768
How do you know when
you're finished making love?
536
01:13:55,449 --> 01:13:57,758
That's better.
537
01:14:07,769 --> 01:14:10,363
Just be yourself.
538
01:14:30,729 --> 01:14:32,845
Delivery.
539
01:15:04,449 --> 01:15:08,237
You saw this
LIFE magazine article?
540
01:15:08,409 --> 01:15:10,368
Well, I have plenty if you want
another one. Enjoy the show.
541
01:15:10,369 --> 01:15:12,328
Well, I have plenty if you want
another one. Enjoy the show.
542
01:15:36,649 --> 01:15:39,322
Take a look around, fellas.
543
01:15:39,489 --> 01:15:42,959
These are the big shots.
Jackson broke the ice.
544
01:15:43,529 --> 01:15:46,282
- Hi, how are you?
- Beautiful.
545
01:15:49,449 --> 01:15:52,043
- Do you know the Petersons?
- No.
546
01:15:52,209 --> 01:15:55,087
- This is Betty Parsons.
- Thank you.
547
01:15:58,489 --> 01:16:00,161
Sande.
548
01:16:01,449 --> 01:16:04,202
How do you do, sir? Hi, Mom.
549
01:16:04,369 --> 01:16:07,645
- Thank you. Beautiful work.
- Thanks.
550
01:16:08,249 --> 01:16:11,878
Pollock showed 30 pictures
last fall and sold all but five...
551
01:16:12,049 --> 01:16:14,085
...and his collectors
are nibbling at those.
552
01:16:14,289 --> 01:16:18,441
Mr. Pollock, in your opinion,
what is the meaning of modern art?
553
01:16:23,249 --> 01:16:26,207
Modern art, to me...
554
01:16:26,369 --> 01:16:31,887
...is nothing more than the expression
of the contemporary aims...
555
01:16:32,049 --> 01:16:35,485
...of the age we're living in.
556
01:16:36,529 --> 01:16:40,841
Did the classical artists have
any means of expressing their age?
557
01:16:41,049 --> 01:16:44,325
Yes, and they did it very well.
558
01:16:44,489 --> 01:16:50,837
All cultures have had means
and techniques of expressing their...
559
01:16:52,049 --> 01:16:55,041
...immediate aims.
560
01:16:57,089 --> 01:17:01,480
The thing that interests me
is that today...
561
01:17:01,649 --> 01:17:07,804
...painters do not have to go to
a subject matter outside of themselves.
562
01:17:08,969 --> 01:17:12,882
They work from a different source.
They work from within.
563
01:17:15,049 --> 01:17:19,998
It seems to me that the modern artist
cannot express this age...
564
01:17:20,169 --> 01:17:24,845
...the airplane,
the atom bomb, the radio...
565
01:17:25,009 --> 01:17:30,686
...in the old forms of the Renaissance
or any other past culture.
566
01:17:30,889 --> 01:17:35,917
How do you get the paint on the canvas?
I understand you don't use brushes.
567
01:17:37,289 --> 01:17:40,406
I paint on the floor.
568
01:17:41,089 --> 01:17:46,117
That's not unusual.
The Orientals did that.
569
01:17:46,809 --> 01:17:50,438
Most of the paint I use is a liquid,
flowing kind of paint.
570
01:17:51,649 --> 01:17:55,881
The brushes I use
are used more as sticks.
571
01:17:56,049 --> 01:18:01,407
The brush doesn't actually touch
the canvas, but just above it.
572
01:18:06,049 --> 01:18:09,758
Isn't it more difficult to control?
Isn't there more of a possibility of...
573
01:18:09,969 --> 01:18:13,518
...getting too much paint,
splattering, or any number of things?
574
01:18:15,169 --> 01:18:16,602
No, I don't think so.
575
01:18:19,809 --> 01:18:24,041
With experience,
it seems possible to control...
576
01:18:24,609 --> 01:18:30,047
...the flow of the paint to a great
extent, and I don't use--
577
01:18:31,129 --> 01:18:36,157
I don't use the accident
'cause I deny the accident.
578
01:18:36,369 --> 01:18:38,485
Did you see
the Magazine of Art review?
579
01:18:38,649 --> 01:18:42,324
It was a public recant,
a complete switcheroo.
580
01:18:42,489 --> 01:18:46,004
Five years ago, he called
Pollock's work " baked macaroni."
581
01:18:46,169 --> 01:18:49,957
Now he says,
"An impregnable language of image...
582
01:18:50,129 --> 01:18:54,327
...beautiful and subtle
patterns of pure form."
583
01:18:55,049 --> 01:18:58,678
Come on. Hold it, Mom.
584
01:19:03,089 --> 01:19:05,159
- You all made it.
- Yeah, we made it.
585
01:19:05,329 --> 01:19:06,808
How was it?
586
01:19:06,969 --> 01:19:08,197
- Hi, Elizabeth.
- Hi.
587
01:19:08,689 --> 01:19:10,441
You must be Jeremy.
588
01:19:10,609 --> 01:19:13,646
Dad drove 100 miles an hour
all the way from L.A.
589
01:19:14,329 --> 01:19:17,321
- How are you?
- How you doing? It's nice to see you.
590
01:19:17,489 --> 01:19:19,684
- Hi, Charles.
- Hi, Jack.
591
01:19:19,849 --> 01:19:22,409
- Hi.
- Hi.
592
01:19:22,569 --> 01:19:26,198
- How are you, Karen?
- Nice to meet you. Yes.
593
01:19:32,009 --> 01:19:32,998
Hi, Mom.
594
01:19:33,169 --> 01:19:36,878
It's so nice to have
all my boys together.
595
01:19:37,049 --> 01:19:39,085
I'm so glad everybody's here.
596
01:19:39,249 --> 01:19:42,127
How you doing?
How was the trip?
597
01:19:42,289 --> 01:19:45,725
He's so heavy.
Thank you, here you go.
598
01:19:55,729 --> 01:20:00,849
I miss you, you son of a bitch.
I miss you. It's just not the same.
599
01:20:01,009 --> 01:20:04,046
Nothing was ever the same
to begin with.
600
01:20:04,209 --> 01:20:07,326
- What do you think?
- Shangri-la.
601
01:20:07,489 --> 01:20:11,402
- Everybody okay down there?
- You hit the big time, Jack.
602
01:20:11,569 --> 01:20:14,288
How many did you sell
from that November show?
603
01:20:14,449 --> 01:20:17,725
It was the best show I ever had.
It all goes to the house.
604
01:20:17,889 --> 01:20:21,484
I'm buying the acreage next door,
put up a studio for Lee.
605
01:20:21,649 --> 01:20:23,879
Free up the upstairs bedroom,
give her more space.
606
01:20:24,089 --> 01:20:27,479
He articulated the profundity
of Jackson's art...
607
01:20:27,649 --> 01:20:29,765
...more eloquently than anyone has.
608
01:20:29,929 --> 01:20:32,568
- How are they?
- Mother's reading Peter Pan.
609
01:20:32,729 --> 01:20:35,721
This one is from
the most recent Art News.
610
01:20:35,889 --> 01:20:38,687
- Story about a boy who never grew up.
- Another rave.
611
01:20:38,849 --> 01:20:42,285
I can't wait to see what he
says about Jackson's next show.
612
01:20:42,809 --> 01:20:44,800
I'm not sure I always get it, Jack.
613
01:20:44,969 --> 01:20:48,564
I'm the only painter
worth looking at in America.
614
01:20:48,729 --> 01:20:51,801
- I expect that's true.
- This guy wants to make a film on me.
615
01:20:51,969 --> 01:20:55,723
- Why?
- Well, they made one on Calder.
616
01:20:55,889 --> 01:20:58,323
I have a show coming up
at the Circle Gallery.
617
01:20:58,489 --> 01:21:00,844
I'm exhibiting under the name
Charles Pima.
618
01:21:01,009 --> 01:21:03,807
What the hell you doing that for?
This is priced at 4000.
619
01:21:04,009 --> 01:21:07,365
Buy it for 1500.
It'll be worth 100,000 someday.
620
01:21:10,089 --> 01:21:12,762
- Just any kind for me.
- I'll have a cherry.
621
01:21:12,929 --> 01:21:16,604
Does anybody speak ltalian?
I need somebody who speaks ltalian.
622
01:21:21,089 --> 01:21:23,205
Do you speak ltalian?
623
01:21:24,769 --> 01:21:26,725
Here it is. Arte Moderna.
624
01:21:26,889 --> 01:21:31,838
We figured out that much: " Modern Art."
There's an article about me.
625
01:21:40,929 --> 01:21:42,487
Anybody know
what that means?
626
01:21:42,689 --> 01:21:45,965
- Does anybody wanna play anagrams?
- I do.
627
01:21:46,129 --> 01:21:51,044
- Here's something about " povro Picasso."
- " Povro Picasso." Did you hear that?
628
01:21:52,489 --> 01:21:56,641
- What do you think that means?
- I think it means " poor Picasso."
629
01:21:56,809 --> 01:22:01,837
" Poor Picasso"? Like, poor Pic--?
Did you guys hear that? Poor Picasso!
630
01:22:02,009 --> 01:22:05,843
Is Picasso more important
than your family?
631
01:22:21,049 --> 01:22:22,528
I had this dream.
632
01:22:22,689 --> 01:22:26,125
I'm at the edge of a cliff,
and my brothers are there...
633
01:22:26,289 --> 01:22:29,326
...and they're trying
to push me off the cliff.
634
01:22:29,489 --> 01:22:32,845
Goddamn fucking nightmare.
635
01:22:39,409 --> 01:22:41,125
Okay, we're rolling.
Now come back in.
636
01:22:41,126 --> 01:22:42,841
Okay, we're rolling.
Now come back in.
637
01:22:43,009 --> 01:22:45,364
Don't stop.
638
01:22:45,929 --> 01:22:47,248
That's good.
639
01:22:47,409 --> 01:22:52,164
Stop, stop.
Go to the chair, sit down.
640
01:22:52,329 --> 01:22:54,843
Put your shoes on.
641
01:22:59,369 --> 01:23:02,600
Your head's too low.
Lift it up.
642
01:23:02,769 --> 01:23:08,560
Don't talk. We see your mouth moving.
You're supposed to be alone. Cut.
643
01:23:09,809 --> 01:23:12,277
We gotta do it again.
You can't talk.
644
01:23:22,489 --> 01:23:26,801
Now sit down.
Don't look at camera.
645
01:23:28,889 --> 01:23:31,926
That's good. Shoes.
646
01:23:34,849 --> 01:23:36,202
Yeah.
647
01:23:39,489 --> 01:23:41,605
That's better.
That looks good.
648
01:23:46,169 --> 01:23:49,286
Cut. Cut. You need
to take more time looking.
649
01:23:49,449 --> 01:23:54,921
Like-- I don't know.
Like you're thinking or wondering or...
650
01:24:36,449 --> 01:24:38,167
Cut.
651
01:24:40,489 --> 01:24:42,923
Jackson, cut.
652
01:24:43,729 --> 01:24:45,526
Cut. We ran out of film.
653
01:25:05,329 --> 01:25:08,526
Just tell him you don't wanna do it.
654
01:25:09,129 --> 01:25:11,199
I can't.
655
01:25:11,929 --> 01:25:13,726
Not polite.
656
01:25:13,889 --> 01:25:16,244
It's been a month.
657
01:25:16,609 --> 01:25:19,806
He wants to get it right.
658
01:25:24,009 --> 01:25:26,398
It's not just that, anyway.
659
01:25:31,489 --> 01:25:33,684
I feel like a phoney.
660
01:25:34,929 --> 01:25:37,363
You're a great painter, Pollock.
661
01:25:37,529 --> 01:25:39,884
Just paint.
662
01:26:09,649 --> 01:26:14,325
He wants to shoot through glass
so he can see my face.
663
01:26:15,449 --> 01:26:17,963
You're the star.
664
01:26:18,569 --> 01:26:22,084
I feel like a clam without a shell.
665
01:26:23,209 --> 01:26:25,165
Fuck him.
666
01:26:25,889 --> 01:26:28,961
Fuck him. It's not for you.
667
01:26:31,809 --> 01:26:35,484
I think it's gonna be
your best show ever, Jackson.
668
01:26:35,689 --> 01:26:37,884
Everything works.
669
01:26:38,049 --> 01:26:40,119
The big pictures.
670
01:26:40,289 --> 01:26:42,883
The smaller ones. It's phenomenal.
671
01:26:48,729 --> 01:26:51,960
I don't think it's going
to sell, though.
672
01:27:02,649 --> 01:27:05,800
- Take care of yourself.
- Will do.
673
01:27:41,249 --> 01:27:45,879
I can't believe they're still
out there. He's gotta be frozen.
674
01:27:46,209 --> 01:27:51,078
- Hello.
- Hello. Happy Thanksgiving.
675
01:28:04,169 --> 01:28:07,445
Yeah. The light's gone.
676
01:28:07,609 --> 01:28:10,567
That's it, Jackson.
677
01:28:11,689 --> 01:28:15,841
We're done. It's great.
It's marvellous.
678
01:28:21,449 --> 01:28:24,964
- Jackson.
- Jackson, where have you been?
679
01:28:38,209 --> 01:28:41,360
Jackson, please.
680
01:28:55,649 --> 01:28:57,799
Damn it, Hans, we need this.
681
01:28:59,529 --> 01:29:01,838
Come in here.
682
01:29:05,249 --> 01:29:08,002
Here, this one's for you.
683
01:29:08,169 --> 01:29:11,127
First drink I've had in two years.
684
01:29:11,289 --> 01:29:15,407
Don't be a fool, Jackson.
685
01:29:56,769 --> 01:29:59,681
Carve the turkey for me.
686
01:30:04,929 --> 01:30:07,489
- The gravy.
- Anybody wanna eat?
687
01:30:08,009 --> 01:30:09,920
The turkey will be served.
688
01:30:10,129 --> 01:30:11,847
I'm not the phoney,
you're the phoney.
689
01:30:12,009 --> 01:30:14,398
- Let's eat.
- Let's eat.
690
01:30:14,569 --> 01:30:18,198
- I'm not the phoney, you're the phoney.
- Jackson, enough. Okay?
691
01:30:18,369 --> 01:30:21,839
I'm not the phoney, you're the phoney.
692
01:30:22,009 --> 01:30:24,284
No, I want you sitting next to me.
693
01:30:24,449 --> 01:30:27,009
Come on, sit next to me.
Here you go.
694
01:30:27,169 --> 01:30:30,639
No, Herbert, I'm sitting
next to my buddy.
695
01:30:35,409 --> 01:30:37,206
I'm not the phoney,
you're the phoney.
696
01:30:37,409 --> 01:30:39,047
How about a toast
to our hostess?
697
01:30:39,249 --> 01:30:41,968
I'm not the phoney,
you're the phoney.
698
01:30:42,769 --> 01:30:45,158
- Should I do it now, Hans?
- Here we go.
699
01:30:45,369 --> 01:30:46,484
- Now?
- Stop it.
700
01:30:46,689 --> 01:30:48,202
Now, Hans?
701
01:30:48,409 --> 01:30:49,637
Now?
702
01:30:49,849 --> 01:30:51,680
Now!
703
01:33:43,289 --> 01:33:47,487
I understand there was a ruckus
over my Partisan Review article.
704
01:33:47,649 --> 01:33:50,083
Go find it, Lee.
705
01:33:50,249 --> 01:33:52,319
- Jackson.
- Jewish cunt.
706
01:33:52,489 --> 01:33:55,003
Lee's the one who wants you here.
707
01:33:55,169 --> 01:33:58,639
I call them the way I see them.
You want it any other way?
708
01:33:58,809 --> 01:34:03,280
You call them the way you see them?
I'm traded in for Clyfford Still.
709
01:34:03,449 --> 01:34:05,326
That's not what Clem's saying.
710
01:34:05,689 --> 01:34:08,487
Clyfford Still is one of the most
original painters around.
711
01:34:08,689 --> 01:34:10,998
- If not the best?
- If not the best.
712
01:34:11,169 --> 01:34:13,399
- Did you read the article?
- I read the whole thing.
713
01:34:13,569 --> 01:34:16,037
- Clem wasn't trading you for Still.
- What was he doing?
714
01:34:16,209 --> 01:34:19,884
The article was about the direction
of modern art. It's not just about you.
715
01:34:20,049 --> 01:34:21,801
- I'm not talking to you.
- If you--
716
01:34:21,969 --> 01:34:25,166
I'm not talking to you! Shut up!
717
01:34:28,209 --> 01:34:32,168
You didn't review '52, the '54 show
was "forced." Is that right?
718
01:34:32,369 --> 01:34:35,486
- As I saw it, yes.
- Have I lost my stuff, Clem?
719
01:34:35,649 --> 01:34:39,437
Everybody loses their stuff.
You had a good 10-year run.
720
01:34:40,089 --> 01:34:42,967
Everything's gorgeous.
721
01:34:43,169 --> 01:34:46,127
Gorgeous isn't good enough.
722
01:34:46,289 --> 01:34:48,245
What do you want from me?
723
01:34:48,689 --> 01:34:51,761
I like Easter and the Totem.
724
01:34:51,929 --> 01:34:55,922
Is it as good as the Peterson
it was next to at the Carnegie exhibit?
725
01:34:56,089 --> 01:34:59,081
The Peterson was better.
726
01:35:00,129 --> 01:35:04,361
Yeah, well, I had something going
in that picture, but it missed.
727
01:35:05,329 --> 01:35:08,002
I had something going
in The Deep too, but it just missed.
728
01:35:08,169 --> 01:35:10,683
- The Deep was a kiss-ass to Still.
- No one asked you!
729
01:35:10,849 --> 01:35:13,158
Clyfford Still couldn't
polish Jackson's shoes.
730
01:35:13,329 --> 01:35:15,047
Look what you painted
when you were sober.
731
01:35:15,209 --> 01:35:17,484
Now that you're back on booze,
do you paint real pictures?
732
01:35:17,649 --> 01:35:20,004
- Climb off my back, bitch!
- You're a bum!
733
01:35:20,169 --> 01:35:24,401
- Open that mouth again, I'll kill you!
- You are killing me!
734
01:35:24,609 --> 01:35:27,169
Bitch! Bitch! Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!
735
01:35:27,329 --> 01:35:31,242
- You wouldn't have a child!
- That would have fixed everything.
736
01:35:31,449 --> 01:35:33,758
I never loved you!
Go fuck yourself!
737
01:35:33,929 --> 01:35:37,888
- I don't even wanna touch you!
- Your sex life is of no concern to me.
738
01:35:38,089 --> 01:35:40,887
Weekly trips to your therapist.
What a joke.
739
01:35:41,089 --> 01:35:44,968
And whatever trash you pick up at
the Cedar afterwards, I could care less!
740
01:35:45,129 --> 01:35:47,279
You don't wanna stay here.
741
01:35:47,449 --> 01:35:50,680
This is morning to night. This happens
over taking out the garbage!
742
01:35:50,849 --> 01:35:54,000
What are you looking for?
What are you pushing me for?
743
01:35:54,209 --> 01:35:55,881
Stop crying about it and paint!
744
01:35:56,089 --> 01:35:58,762
You're Jackson Pollock,
and you don't paint!
745
01:35:58,969 --> 01:36:01,278
It's a tragedy, and I can't stand it.
746
01:36:01,489 --> 01:36:02,604
Paint!
747
01:36:28,009 --> 01:36:30,079
- Hi.
- Hi.
748
01:36:43,889 --> 01:36:47,325
- You look great.
- Thanks. I missed you.
749
01:37:06,409 --> 01:37:10,800
- Don't look at me that way.
- I'm not looking at you.
750
01:37:14,569 --> 01:37:19,040
I was thinking we could visit Peggy
in Venice, see the Biennale.
751
01:37:19,409 --> 01:37:23,641
Time to go to Europe is when
you're very young or very old.
752
01:37:23,809 --> 01:37:25,845
But you should go.
753
01:37:26,009 --> 01:37:29,319
Everybody should do
what the hell they wanna do.
754
01:37:39,049 --> 01:37:43,839
She left it in the car.
I'm surprised she hasn't missed it.
755
01:37:44,009 --> 01:37:46,523
You take her
where our friends are.
756
01:37:46,689 --> 01:37:50,318
They have the good grace
not to tell me.
757
01:37:50,489 --> 01:37:53,049
If you don't stop seeing her,
I'm going to leave you.
758
01:37:53,209 --> 01:37:56,645
- I love her.
- You don't.
759
01:38:00,049 --> 01:38:01,562
She's my last chance.
760
01:38:05,649 --> 01:38:09,847
I am not going
to give you a divorce.
761
01:38:30,809 --> 01:38:33,164
If you could be anybody...
762
01:38:35,209 --> 01:38:40,567
...who ever lived in the history
of the whole world...
763
01:38:40,729 --> 01:38:43,448
...who would you be?
764
01:38:46,409 --> 01:38:48,206
You.
765
01:39:05,249 --> 01:39:08,207
I'd better get that.
766
01:39:34,689 --> 01:39:36,998
- Hello?
- I'm ridiculous.
767
01:39:37,169 --> 01:39:40,366
I think I left
my passport at the house.
768
01:39:40,529 --> 01:39:45,319
I suppose I'll have to wait
till the next sailing.
769
01:39:46,969 --> 01:39:48,960
Jackson?
770
01:39:51,489 --> 01:39:53,480
Pollock.
771
01:39:55,649 --> 01:40:00,769
Here it is.
I found it buried in my purse.
772
01:40:26,169 --> 01:40:29,559
I owe the woman something.
773
01:40:31,129 --> 01:40:34,041
I'd be dead without her.
774
01:40:35,009 --> 01:40:38,843
But I'm the one
who loves you, Jackson.
775
01:41:32,169 --> 01:41:38,517
The roses were
the most beautiful, deep red.
776
01:41:40,369 --> 01:41:43,679
I miss you and wish
you were sharing this with me.
777
01:41:43,849 --> 01:41:47,728
It would be wonderful
to get a note from you.
778
01:41:47,889 --> 01:41:52,087
The painting here
is unbelievably bad.
779
01:41:52,969 --> 01:41:55,688
How are you, Jackson?
780
01:41:56,569 --> 01:42:00,198
Kiss Gyp for me.
Love, Lee.
781
01:43:58,089 --> 01:44:00,762
It's okay, buddy.
782
01:44:06,609 --> 01:44:09,521
What have you got
there, Mr. Pollock?
783
01:44:09,689 --> 01:44:12,726
I found him hit on the road.
784
01:44:12,969 --> 01:44:15,802
He's a beautiful dog.
785
01:44:16,369 --> 01:44:18,678
You gotta save him.
786
01:44:18,849 --> 01:44:21,727
He's a beautiful dog.
787
01:44:36,969 --> 01:44:40,405
Keep a girl waiting,
why don't you.
788
01:44:42,689 --> 01:44:45,886
This is my friend Edith Metzger.
789
01:45:08,009 --> 01:45:12,958
Just throw your stuff in the back.
We can all fit in the front, I think.
790
01:45:15,889 --> 01:45:17,845
Thanks.
791
01:45:19,449 --> 01:45:22,725
Edith wants to go
to the beach today.
792
01:45:42,409 --> 01:45:45,162
We're all set and ready to go.
793
01:45:47,569 --> 01:45:49,480
You go.
794
01:45:55,409 --> 01:45:58,082
We'll wait for you.
795
01:46:02,809 --> 01:46:04,401
Okay?
796
01:46:20,329 --> 01:46:21,967
Are we going?
797
01:46:22,129 --> 01:46:26,441
He's taking a little nap.
He'll be down in a little bit.
798
01:46:26,689 --> 01:46:29,203
- Is he sick?
- No, he's fine. Come on.
799
01:46:29,369 --> 01:46:32,122
Let's go see the studio.
800
01:46:56,169 --> 01:46:58,046
What's doing for tonight?
801
01:46:58,209 --> 01:47:00,723
I'm invited to Ossorio's...
802
01:47:00,889 --> 01:47:04,120
...for a musicale
or something or other benefit.
803
01:47:04,289 --> 01:47:06,484
That could be fun. Let's go.
804
01:47:06,649 --> 01:47:09,368
I don't want to see
all those people.
805
01:47:09,529 --> 01:47:12,487
Come on, I wanna take
a picture with you.
806
01:47:12,649 --> 01:47:16,688
Edith, take our picture.
807
01:47:25,409 --> 01:47:27,320
Good.
808
01:47:33,209 --> 01:47:35,803
Okay, here we go.
809
01:47:37,329 --> 01:47:39,968
Leave the dishes.
810
01:47:40,129 --> 01:47:43,326
- Get dressed.
- We don't have to go, Jackson.
811
01:47:43,489 --> 01:47:49,166
- Really, you don't have to amuse me.
- Leave the dishes. Get dressed.
812
01:48:08,129 --> 01:48:11,087
What's the matter, Jackson?
813
01:48:15,089 --> 01:48:17,683
Are you all right?
814
01:48:51,249 --> 01:48:54,321
- I'm gonna call for help.
- Don't go in there.
815
01:48:54,489 --> 01:48:57,242
- I don't wanna drive with him.
- Get her back in the car.
816
01:48:57,409 --> 01:49:01,118
Come on, he's fine. I promise.
We're gonna go home.
817
01:49:01,289 --> 01:49:06,522
- I don't wanna drive with him.
- Get her back in the car!
818
01:49:44,329 --> 01:49:46,763
You need to get him to slow down.
819
01:49:46,969 --> 01:49:48,641
Slow down.
820
01:49:48,809 --> 01:49:51,198
Jackson, please.
821
01:49:55,289 --> 01:49:58,440
Tell him he has got
to slow down this car!
822
01:49:58,609 --> 01:50:01,203
Jackson, slow down.
823
01:50:01,369 --> 01:50:04,645
- Let me out of your car!
- Edith, shut up!
824
01:50:04,809 --> 01:50:07,721
- Let me out!
- Shut up! Jackson!
825
01:50:07,929 --> 01:50:09,328
No!
826
01:50:09,889 --> 01:50:12,528
- Jackson!
- Let me out of this car!
827
01:50:12,689 --> 01:50:17,399
Get back in the car! Jackson,
you stop this car right now, Jackson!
828
01:50:17,609 --> 01:50:20,521
- Stop, Jackson.
- Stop this car!
829
01:58:05,169 --> 01:58:06,158
