Did Jackson Pollock become an artist because he was copycatting his older brother? Believe it or not, the pugnacious Abstract Expressionist was the baby brother in his family\u2014the youngest of five sons born to Leroy and Stella Pollock. What\u2019s more, he wasn\u2019t his family\u2019s first artist. That title belonged to Charles, the eldest of the Pollock brood and a decade Jackson\u2019s senior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCharles started this whole damn thing,\u201d said Sanford McCoy, the Pollocks\u2019 middle brother, once in an interview. \u201cCharles was the fellow who had the intellectual curiosity all along.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, \u201cCharles and Jackson Pollock<\/a>\u201d an exhibition\u00a0at the\u00a0Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach, Florida, (through March 28) marks the first time that works by the two brothers have been shown side by side.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
