Author Talk: Henry Adams presents “Tom and Jack: The Intertwined Lives of Thomas Hart Benton and Jackson Pollock”

Martha's Vineyard Museum, Neighbor

The drip paintings of Jackson Pollock, trailblazing abstract expressionist, appear to be the polar opposite of Thomas Hart Benton’s highly figurative Americana. Yet the two men had a close and highly charged relationship dating from Pollock’s days as a student under Benton. Pollock’s first and only formal training came from Benton, and the older man soon became a surrogate father to Pollock. Vineyard summer resident, Henry Adams explores two of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.
