Untitled c. 1945

This untitled drawing by American artist Jackson Pollock from circa 1945, exemplifies his early abstract style. Utilizing black ink on a pale yellow ground, Pollock's gestural lines and swirling forms create a dynamic composition that evokes a sense of energy and movement. The drawing reveals Pollock's interest in exploring the subconscious mind, a theme that would become central to his later work. This drawing is a precursor to Pollock’s more famous drip paintings, and shows a progression toward the artist's groundbreaking abstract expressionist techniques.
