Jackson Pollock, "psychoanalytic" Drawings

'The drawings bear witness to Pollock's intense interest in the latest contemporary art as well as non-Western traditions. The catalogue section reveals the extent of his wide-ranging investigations in graphic technique and art historical sources charged by the powerful associations with animism and totemism. These remarkable works--some no more than automatic doodles, some highly finished, premeditated sketches--ultimately reflect the conscious intellectual choice of an artist blazing new trails.' - Michael P. Mezzatesta, From the Foreword.
