The Fate Of A Gesture: Jackson Pollock And Postwar American Art

by Carter Ratcliff

Overview

I am indebted first to Thomas B. Hess and James Fitzsimmons, the editors of Artnews and Art International, who encouraged me to publish the essays and reviews that led, years later, to this book. I am equally grateful for the encouragement I have received from Elizabeth C. Baker, the editor of Art in America.
