...period divides into two sub-movements. Gestural painters like Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline energized their canvases with wild brushstrokes, and textured their surfaces by building up their paint. The color-field painters, notably Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman, articulated their sufaces with two or three areas of unruffled color...
...Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky and Franz Kline are among the other major abstract expressionists shown. The lineup of artists is quite good, reading like a veritable Who's Who of the period. The work which represents them in this show is, however, another story. Jackson Pollock is a case in point. The Fogg owns a very good example of Pollock's mature or "drip" work (1947-53), but it is not on exhibit here because it's now in Washington D.C.--on loan to the National Gallery...

When the rough-'em-up Philadelphia Flyers won the Stanley Cup in 1974 and 1975, Montreal General Manager Sam Pollock and Coach Scotty Bowman rebuilt their club with canny trades for draft choices (the Canadiens had five first-round picks one year, leaving the other 17 teams to divvy up the rest). The results added size to the already considerable Montreal speed on ice. The current team can outskate anyone...
