Jackson Pollock"s pioneering "drip" technique provided the model for what Harold Rosenberg would term "Action Painting" - using the canvas as an arena for the emphatically physical, even balletic application of paint, and as a record of that engagement. Pollock also provided the credo for this approach: "When I am in my painting, I"m not aware of what I"m doing. It is only after a sort of "get acquainted" period that I see what I have been about The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess". Формат: 25 см x 31 cм.
