The Macho Modernist was a term that referred to men who were creating art, not settling down to start a family like most after WWII. Because creating artwork was seen as a delicate job at this point in history, these artists felt they needed to overcompensate by being what they considered to be "macho," things such as drinking excessively, partying, and living dangerously in general. This affected their artwork by becoming an emotional release. Each of their paintings is filled with emotions that they pushed aside other wise.
Clement Greenberg was an art critic, Lee Krasner was an artist, and Peggy Gugenheim was a fan of Pollock's work. Hans Namuth filmed Pollock painting from under a sheet of glass, which put him under a lot of pressure. He lost his inspiration and could no longer move forward the way that he wished to.
