- Jackson.
- Now be careful.
:57:07
- Jackson!
- Hi, Peggy.
:57:11
I want you to meet Alfonso Ossorio.
This is Jackson Pollock.
:57:15
And you know him.
Ted? Come on in.
:57:19
Ted Dragon,
this is Jackson Pollock.
:57:22
They came up for a preview of the show,
and I expect them to buy something.
:57:26
- It's beautiful. You must be happy.
- Damn near. The country's wonderful.
:57:31
Really, just enjoy.
Now this one I like very much.
:57:35
This was in my last fall show.
:57:38
You're retreating into
imagery again, Jackson.
:57:42
Paint is paint, surface is surface.
That's all they should be.
:57:50
Now this is...
:57:54
This is first-rate.
:57:56
Why don't you do
eight or 10 of those?
:58:01
Paint is paint, surface is surface.
That's all they should be.
:58:05
The surrealists confuse
literature with painting.
:58:08
I can't stand that.
They will not have their way.
:58:12
What you're doing out there
is better than anything...
:58:14
...I've seen from you
in a year or more.
:58:17
No, I gotta backtrack. Peggy's mural.
:58:20
That's when I thought,
" Here's a great painter."
:58:23
And people saying to me,
" It's wallpaper. It repeats itself."
:58:27
It's my plan to return to Europe. I don't
have the energy since Howard died.
:58:32
- But Jackson needs a gallery.
- Well...
:58:43
What was the one that missed?
The one that wasn't so good?
:58:47
You don't have colour yet. You're better
off when you keep your colour quiet.
:58:52
- Which one was it? I'll fix it.
- The one with all the blue.
:58:55
- It's predominantly blue.
- The wrong blue? Too much blue?
:58:58
All I want art to be is good.
The picture misses.
