"Number 1A, 1948" by Jackson Pollock (1948)


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted


One of Pollock's first iconic drip paintings, created by pouring and splattering paint onto the canvas. The piece has no central focus, inviting viewers to explore the entire surface.

One of Pollock's first iconic drip paintings, created by pouring and splattering paint onto the canvas. The artwork features a dynamic web of black, white, and earthy tones, with occasional bursts of yellow and red, layered to create depth and movement. This complex abstraction reflects his interest in automatism and subconscious expression, influenced by surrealism. The piece has no central focus, inviting viewers to explore the entire surface.
