Number 7, 1951 1951

"Number 7, 1951" is a prime example of Jackson Pollock’s drip technique, a hallmark of Abstract Expressionism. Created in 1951, this large-scale painting showcases Pollock's signature method of applying paint directly onto the canvas, resulting in a complex web of black lines, splatters, and drips against a cream-colored background. The seemingly chaotic composition is full of dynamism and energy, reflecting the artist's intuitive process of creating. Pollock's masterful use of space and gesture is evident in the seemingly spontaneous creation of his "Number 7" series, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the raw, unfiltered energy of the artwork.
