In light of his drip paintings you might very reasonably expect Jackson Pollock's Thanksgiving spread to look like a sprawling, stuffing-speckled mess of shredded turkey. But in 1950—when this photograph from the Archives of American Art was taken—with his mother Stella visiting, Pollock and his wife, the artist Lee Krasner, cleaned up their act and carved this very conventional turkey—while drinking a shit-ton, obvs. Famous artists: they're just like us!
