Summertime: Number 9A (1948) Jackson Pollock
I know what you’re all thinking… “Finally! It’s not a portrait of a woman!” Jackson Pollock has always been one of my favorite painters. His work really encapsulates action in a way that very few artists have. His sense of action and motion in this painting is very interesting
What I find extremely interesting in this piece is his use of color. In such an asymmetrical style of painting,his use of color in this piece almost brings a sense of symmetry. The use of only two colors (besides black and white) and in similarly shaped forms throughout the piece contrasts greatly to the seemingly random lines of the black and white across the canvas.
I just love Pollock. Alot.
