As a culminating activity, students will compsoe 3 questions about the movie - or about art and life - and briefly describe 3 scenes from the movie. You may state whether you found the scene affecting or not.
Be sure it's legible.
"I owe that woman something. I'd be dead without her," was what Pollock says - wearing a boat-neck shirt - near the end of the eponymous movie bio.
The couple were living largely separate lives near the end. Pollock was no longer the hot painter. His friend, the NY Times art critic, pointed out that Pollock had enjoyed 10 years at the top.
Pollock is presented as perhaps the first American art superstar - glorified by Life Magazine and the subject of a film. The movie implied that he never got over it.
He died in a self-destructive rage. His girlfriend's girlfriend died in the same wreck.
