The talk is a biographical and historical account of the development of Jackson Pollock as an abstract painter and the (intersecting) emergence of Clement Greenberg as an art critic and theorist, ca. 1939-1950. Luke Menand situates these in the context of international artistic and political movements - specifically, surrealism and Trotskyism.
