Why did it cause shockwaves in 1947, and what does it mean now? We explore the life, evolution, and legacy of Jackson Pollock. We apologize for the following errors and omissions: - Jackson Pollock was sympathetic to leftist causes but never an official member of the Communist Party. He did participate in the creation of large scale public works for gatherings of the American Communist Party while part of the workshop of Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros, including a float for the 1936 May Day parade.\n
