One late spring morning the American artist Jackson Pollock began work on the canvas that would ultimately come to be known as Number 1, 1950 (Lavender Mist).
Award-winning authors Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan use this moment as the departure point for a unique picture book about a great painter and the way in which he worked. Their lyrical text, drawn from Pollock's own comments and those made by members of his immediate circle, is perfectly complemented by vibrant watercolors by Robert Andrew Parker that honor his spirit of the artist without imitating his paintings.
A photographic reproduction of the finished painting, a short biography, a bibliography, and a detailed list of notes and sources that are fascinating reading in their own right make this an authoritative as well as beautiful book for readers of all ages.
Imagines Jackson Pollock at work during the creation of one of his paint-swirled and splattered canvasses.

reviewed Action Jackson on July 17, 2014 Action Jackson
What I love about this book besides the great pictures and story is that it is written for a wide age range of readers (6-10). The majority of the books is written for the lower age range with short passages and great illustrations. For the more advanced reader though the end of the book has a more in-depth text heavy two page biography on Pollack along with a list followed by notes, sources, and a bibliography for the more advanced readers. As a historian I also like that the book is authentic to Pollack's life, and although it is only a brief mention the authors did not shy away from the fact that Pollack suffered from alcoholism and depression. The authors did their due diligence with their research too, because I was pleased to see referenced Thomas Hart Benton who was Pollack's art teacher for many years. Two thumbs up! ~The Librarian Uncle
