Jackson Pollock (Icons of America)
Journalist and novelist Toynton (The Oriental Wife) lends her multifarious talent to the story of the turbulent life of Jackson Pollock...a quotable and inspired contemporary portrait. Toynton's ability to combine sweeping references with didactic narrative separates this account from the stacks of literature on Pollock. -- Publishers Weekly"Toynton's sensitive and incisive book sorts through the records of an imagination out of which so much of contemporary art would go on to assemble itself."--Times Literary Supplement, April 6, 2012
