If you're baffled by Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings, you're not alone. David Lubin proposes that these paintings can become radiantly meaningful and all the more appealing to the eye when understood in the various contexts of their time, among them the cold war, the space age, movies, and jazz.
Lubin is the Charlotte C. Weber Professor of Art at Wake Forest University.
