One rather tragic thing I hadn't known about Pollock--aside from his alcoholism and related death in a car accident--is that while he's pretty much solely remembered for the huge, abstract "drip" or "action" paintings he executed between 1947 and 1950, the darker and more figurative stuff he progressed into after that, until his death in '56 at the age of 44, has been, by comparison, pretty much entirely ignored.
