New York City.- In collaboration with the Charles Pollock Archives, Paris, Jason McCoy Gallery is pleased to present “American Letters 1927-1947: Jackson Pollock & Family”, an exhibition comprising painting, sculpture, works on paper, photographs and letters. The exhibition celebrates this year’s release of the book with the same title (Polity Press, April 2011), a compilation of the personal correspondence between the five Pollock brothers (Charles, Marvin Jay, Frank, Sanford and Jackson), their parents, and wives. “American Letters” now on view at the gallery.  While making a significant contribution to the literature on Jackson Pollock, ‘American Letters’ also provides an intimate overview of the unique social, political, and intellectual currents of an era devastated by the Great Depression and the Second World War. Through fragmented accounts of several individuals a somewhat cohesive tale emerges that introduces a family who, despite long distances and financial hardships, remained united and engaged with the world.
