Reginald Pollack first studied art under Moses Soyer at the High School of Music and Art in New York. He served in World War II in the 87th Mountain Infantry, and post-war, Pollack studied the G.I. Bill in Paris and lived there until 1961. He began exhibiting works during the early 1950’s at the Peridot Gallery in New York where he also taught at Cooper Union and Yale University. Later, Pollack settled in Los Angeles in 1963 and exhibited at the Felix Landau and Jefferson Galleries. His works represent heavy influence by Cézanne and Bonnard with themes ranging from portraits to landscapes, as well as metaphysical images. In the early 1960’s, he developed a more efficient method of creating lithographs by utilizing a special plastic base. His works can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Stanford University Museum of Art and many other museums.
