Thanks MSArt within Art Series
This painting was a complete surprise even to me. I had a dream about Jackson Pollock
just going wild with all of his paint cans and just throwing paint all over the place.
I actually woke up and went into the studio at 3AM to do some quick sketches and notes before
I forgot my dream.
The next day I sketched it all out and started squeezing in a few hours here and
there between my commission work to get it painted. I already had a few more art within art paintings started but I just had to get this one finished first. I work several at a time in between other projects as they have many layers of paint and glazes so while they are drying a bit in between layers, I get my commission work completed.
If you haven't seen the move Ed Harris did a great job of directing and starring in Pollock.
He was a reclusive alcoholic and was a mad man when he painted, hence the title Pollock Unleashed!
Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an influential American painter and a major figure in the abstract impressionist movement. During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety. He was regarded as a mostly reclusive artist. He had a volatile personality, sometimes struggling with alcoholism. In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy
Pollock died at the age of 44 in an alcohol-related car accident. In December 1956, he was given a memorial retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, and a larger more comprehensive exhibition there in 1967. More recently, in 1998 and 1999, his work was honored with large-scale retrospective exhibitions at MoMA and at The Tate in London.
In 2000, Pollock was the subject of an Academy Award–winning film Pollock directed by and starring Ed Harris.
Candid, to say the least! Pollock even broke glass on his work once, so what you have here has a ring of truth about it!Very colorful, I think Matisse would have seen it this way, Madison!
