- Biography of Jackson Pollock
In its edition of August 8th, 1949, Life magazine ran a feature article about Jackson Pollock that bore this question in the headline: "Is he the greatest living painter in the United States?"

But the two did not meet again until 1941, after which they became romantically involved and married in 1945.
