I typed this in my search engine: "Photo of Jackson Pollock standing in front of blank canvas" and was thrilled to find exactly for what I was searching. I had seen this photo in an art book and its image has continued to haunt me. Now you too, can see the reason. The finished canvas is also shown here. Again, not exactly my genre but very intriguing. 
You may have picked up on the fact that I love quotes and I thought it also fitting to post the one below by Andy Warhol. So I googled him too. He was born here in Pittsburgh (we all knew that!) and is buried in a nearby cemetery in Bethel Park (I think I knew that). His father, Ondrej, was a Slovak immigrant (I did not know that because I thought I had read once that his mother was a Polish immigrant) and his mother was Julia Zavacky Warhola, also a Slovak immigrant. Huh. Its a short list for famous Slovaks. He attended Schenley High School (I really did not know that) and then Carnegie Mellon University. Not crazy about his art either but again, I am simply sooo fascinated by him. BTW, it is a wig in case you are wondering.
