Jackson Pollock

"I want to express my feelings rather than illustrate them."

"The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings."

"Art is about the artist's hand and eye and mind acting in concert."

"I paint on the floor because I want to be in the painting."

"The viewer doesn't need to understand; they need to feel."

"Every painting is a journey into the unknown."

"The action of pouring paint is as important as the final result."

"I work to express the feelings inside me."

"One does not perform in the painting; one performs in front of it."

"The canvas doesn't scare me anymore."

"Dripping is not accident; it is control in freedom."

"The painting calls to you while you are making it."

"There's no such thing as a mistake in abstract art."

"I want to transcend the object through the act of creation."

"The beauty is in the struggle, not just the finished work."

"I am interested in all of painting, not just an isolated part."

"The work speaks louder than any words I could say about it."

"I can control the gesture but not the outcome completely."

"Every artist has their own language; mine is motion and energy."

"The floor painting allows me to walk around it, to work from all sides."

"I don't believe in art for art's sake; I believe in art for life's sake."

"The painting is alive; I am just a channel for it."

"Abstract art is about communicating feelings directly."

"The materials themselves can teach you what to do."

"I work in a state of controlled frenzy."

"The viewer must complete the painting in their own mind."

"I am seeking to express my inner nature through paint."

"The line between painting and sculpture is not as firm as we think."

"Modern art expresses the times in which it is created."

"I believe the artist is a conduit for universal truths."
