Socially Distanced Tables | Masks Optional

Join us for an evening of Jackson Pollock!

We will initially screen the feature film “Pollock” - A film about the life and career of the American painter, Jackson Pollock, staring Ed Harris, with Marcia Gay Harden, Amy Madigan, Tom Bower, and Jennifer Connelly. (IMDb).

Ed Harris directed this film and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his portrayal of Pollock. Marcia Gay Harden won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for portraying Lee Krasner, Pollock's wife. The film was a long-term personal project for Harris based on his previous reading of Pollock's biography, Jackson Pollock: An American Saga, written by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith.

For those with greater interest, we will screen the original 1951 short film of Jackson Pollock by German Photographer Hans Namuth and discuss the artist’s style and works.

And for those die-hard enthusiasts, we’ll look at the inspiration and making of the feature film and by Ed Harris.
