Jackson Pollock by Ellen G. Landau
Reviewer: A reader from Connecticut, United States This intelligent and lavishly illustrated volume, which first appeared in a 1989 hardcover edition, covers Pollock's entire career, his early influences, and the progression of the themes, techniques, and accomplishments of his life as an artist. Ellen Landau's text is enlightening, but the best part of this book is, inevitably, the illustrations themselves, which are an unparalleled feast for the eyes. For those who want to experience and understand Pollock's art (rather than dwell on his personal problems) this is an excellent choice.

Jackson Pollock: An American Saga by Steven Naifeh, Gregory White Smith
Reviewer: A reader from Lancaster, PA United States I read this book when it first was published. This book made me want to see the new movie! I balked at it's cost but it is the best biography I have ever read. It is well researched and written. Things from the book at linger in my memory after all this time? His hell raising at the Canal Bar,dealing with Peggy Guggenheim, his death and the strange notion that he claimed he would supposedly "know" when a woman had her period.

Jackson Pollock by Kirk Varnedoe, Pepe Karmel, Jackson Pollock, Museum of Modern Art
Reviewer: iannisxenakis (see more about me) from Urbana, IL United States I picked this book up at the MOMA Pollock retrospective a couple years ago and have used it extensively. Having seen many of the paintings in this book firsthand, I can say that these are some of the best reproductions offerred in book form on Pollock's work. Another plus is that several paintings are printed on fold-out pages, so that the work doesn't cross  the book's seam. So many of his paintings are extremely wide that this makes a lot of sense (otherwise, there would be hardly any resolution in the height dimension).

Jackson Pollock : Interviews, Articles, and Reviews by Pepe Karmel (Editor), Kirk Varnedoe (Editor), Museum of modern Art
From the Publisher A Museum of Modern Art Book Assembled by one of the curators of the museum's Pollock retrospective, this anthology surveys five decades of critical response to Pollock, bringing together essential (and hard-to-find) texts from newspapers, journals,  and catalogues. It includes all of Pollock's statements about his art as well as interviews with his wife, the painter Lee Krasner, providing firsthand testimony about his goals and methods. Reviews of Pollock's early exhibitions reveal the intense interest his work aroused even before he arrived at his famous technique of "dripping" paint. Later articles trace the growth of Pollock's myth after his death in 1956 and  document the continuing debate over psychological and mythological interpretations of  Pollock's work. 711/2 x 10" Pepe Karmel is an adjunct assistant curator at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. 

Such Desperate Joy : Imagining Jackson Pollock by Helen Harrison (Editor)
Why is Pollock such an enduring touchstone of American culture? This collection of writings, interviews, creative responses, and personal revelations - many never before published or long out of print - examines the multiple dimensions of his impact and influence, and proves that the real Pollock is even more fascinating than the myth. The book includes never before published art, photos, letters and interviews from the Pollock-Krasner House archives, new contributions by actor/director Ed Harris and musician Patti Smith, and interviews with Patsy Southgate and Willem de Kooning, as well as Clement Greenberg, Peggy Guggenheim, Hans  Namuth, Frank O'Hara, Jeffrey Potter, Norman Rockwell, and Barney Rossett.
