In 1951, the photographer Hans Namuth made a film of the painter, Jackson Pollock, at work. Using his famous "drip technique," Pollock made a painting on glass, so that Namuth could film from the point of view of the canvas. Pollock in the film is unselfconscious, spontaneous, consummately in control - you can sense that he's riding the crest of his fame as the bad boy of modern art. "American Mavericks" is a thirteen episode series on American composers who broke with European tradition to innovate a pure sound. The series won a Peabody Award in 2003.
