This special portrays the life and art of artist Jackson Pollock. The abstract expressionist was a tormented man who found a way to express his innermost soul through his art. Most of his paintings were giant canvases or linens composed of bold strokes of yellows, browns, and blues. He revolutionized the abstract expressionist movement decades ago through a new technique that didn't rely on traditional brushes and oil paints. Tune in to get a glimpse into the life of a visionary who just saw the world differently than everyone else and this unique view was reflected through his controversial art.
