Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) is at the forefront of abstract expressionism, the drip painting style he created in 1947-1950 , Has always been the focus of celebrities and critics. In these revolutionary works, Pollock spread the incompletely stretched canvas on the floor of the studio, and then poured and dripped the enamel paint used in the house. The visual effect formed in this way, in Pollock's own words, is a whirlwind of "energy and action that people can see."
Critic Clement Greenberg (Clement Greenberg) named this work "Mist of Lavender", but Pollock only used numbers and dates for these Named Dihua. Although lavender is not actually used, gray, brown earth and dark rose colors create an ethereal tone, like a kind of halo. Pollock wrapped his handprint around the periphery of the composition. These marks are signs of his real presence in the image, emphasizing the smoothness of the surface of the painting. Relatively speaking, countless strings of paint seem to express a sense of infinity, even reminiscent of the flow of space in the universe.move.
Pollock spent his youth in Los Angeles, so he was familiar with the ideas of Indian spiritual teacher Krishnamurti, and he also understood Jung’s psychology, which made him interested in transcendental ideas throughout his life. . Critics awarded him the title of "Action Painting" for his energetic works, and his exemplary role has influenced a whole generation of artists after that, who used the artist's movements as the main expression technique. Although the CIA assigned Pollock and abstract expressionist artists to cooperate with their anti-communist projects, the works of these artists quickly became a turning point and a new starting point for many subsequent avant-garde art trends.
The oil on canvas outside the Pollock net, the United States. Vertical 121.5×horizontal 244 cm. Collection of the National Gallery of Stuttgart.
In 1947, Pollock first made it The canvas was laid flat on the ground, and the colors were dripped onto the canvas. This process recorded the painter's power and movements when swaying paint. People call this new method "action painting", and this method has a great influence on artists engaged in abstract painting. "Outside the Net" was made by Pollock with a paint bucket in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. What is presented in the painting is the interlaced and overlaid material, material, and space of the paint itself, the so-called "direct and specific painting feeling". Watching Pollock’s work, you will feel the layers that the painter thinks when he is swaying the paint. There is no center in the picture. You can see that the color lines are densely entangled with each other like a net. Some places are airtight, some Some irregular, large and small, strange-shaped earth-red blocks suddenly appeared in the place, and they also brought up yellow-gray spots, which became the highlight of the whole painting. From this work, it can be felt that when Pollock does various color-dropping activities on the canvas, it is by no means purely an accidental activity. He is still subject to the constraints of experience and thinking, recording the artist’s “speed”. , "Strength", "Inner Strength" and "Creative Process" and so on.
