Storyline : An abstract expressionist Jackson Pollocks featured in Life magazine at the end of the 1940's. Back in the year 1941, Pollock lived with his brother in a tiny apartment in New York. He drank a lot and exhibited an occasional painting in group shows. He soon meets an artist Lee Krasner, who puts her career on hold to be his companion, lover, champion, wife, and, in essence, caretaker. They soon go to Hampton where nature and sobriety help Pollock achieve a breakthrough in style and critical praises and also to get him off booze, insecurity, and stress of city life. Life Magazine calls but so did the demons.
