The definitive rediscovery and anointing of a significant figure in American art between the wars. A monographic volume presents for the first time the world, style and language of Charles Pollock, Jackson's elder brother and, according to Thomas Hart Benton who taught them both, the more talented. The book is enriched by a vast range of materials, works and documents, many of them previously unpublished, that have been made available by the Charles Pollock Archives in Paris, through the good offices of the Pollock family. Letters, photographs and sketches document the lively and continuous relationship between Charles and Jackson.
