Only giving this 2 stars because it felt like a chore to get through this 800 page monster. It was so thorough that it just wasn’t compelling enough for me to even want to pick it up but the “finisher” in me wouldn’t let me give up. I learned a lot but at what cost???

One of the best artist biographies because of the exhaustive research. It's 800 pages long, there's little you will not learn about Pollock's background. That said, the story is of a miserable life, both Pollock and Krasner, but also of his larger family.
