Welcome back to ArtHoles everyone. My name is Michael Anthony and this is the

podcast about art and art history with someone who has no authority whatsoever to

be talking about any of this really. This is episode 5 of the Jackson Pollack

series, so you know the deal now.

This episode should be going out right around Thanksgiving time.

And for my listeners in the States, while you're eating some delicious turkey and stuffing

and that disgusting green bean casserole that's crusted with greasy fried onions.

Let's not forget the population of native peoples here in 1492 was anywhere from 5 to 15 million.

And after roughly 1500 US government authorized wars, attacks and

raids and a handful of infected blankets that number dropped a fewer than

238,000 at the close in the 19th century but you're not here to have me ruin your Thanksgiving.

And if this episode sounds a little different,

it's because I'm recording in my parents closet this time,

and I'm sick, not from infected blankets, but from Delta Flight 40.

But let's jump right back into our story.

Here's the deal with Lee Krasner's second go at Jackson.

Lee definitely remembered that night of the Christmas party with Jackson.

Honestly, it's probably hard not to.

And Lee had been following his career ever since.

As to whether or not they had sex that night,

Jerry's out.

Jackson had some impudency problems, which we'll get into a little bit later in the story.
