Autumn Rhythm
Pollock revealed the life of a painting through “actions,” a technique of dripping and pouring paint on a canvas that is placed directly on the floor.
Full Fathom Five
Full Fathom Five is one of the earliest masterpieces of Pollock's drip technique. The actual origins and initial development of this technique have never been fully explained, except by reading back from fuller photographic evidence produced about 1950, two or three years after this work was painted.
Lavender Mist
Pollock used the patterns caused by the separation and marbling of one enamel wet in another, the tiny black striations in the dusty pink, to produce an infinity of tones.
