In June of 1951, Jackson Pollock wrote a letter to a couple of friends concerning the short film that Hans Namuth and Paul Falkenberg had made about him: “I’m anxious to see it and hear the music young Feldman (a friend of Cage’s) has done – think it might be great.” The film, Jackson Pollock, is a ten-minute full-color profile of the artist’s life and work. Feldman’s music, scored for two cellos reflects the abstract artistic gestures depicted on screen without precisely imitating them.
