Number 1, 1950 (Lavender Mist) 1950

Jackson Pollock's "Number 1, 1950 (Lavender Mist)" is a prime example of his signature "drip" technique, a revolutionary approach to abstract expressionism. Created in 1950, this large-scale canvas showcases Pollock's signature gestural style, where he dripped and splattered paint onto the canvas, creating a dynamic and chaotic composition. The interplay of black, white, and muted tones like lavender and turquoise, evokes a sense of depth and energy, engaging the viewer in a visual exploration of the abstract. The painting is known for its scale and its use of an unconventional approach to painting.
