About LOQI Jackson Pollock Backpack - Number 32 (1950)
This beautiful LOQI Jackson Pollock Backpack features one of the Abstract Expressionist artist's iconic "Drip period" paintings, Number 32, made in 1950. Pollock's work Number 32, evidences his notorious action painting style, where the artist would stand on top of the canvas and would splatter paint throughout the whole composition while moving around the canvas. Pollock's action painting although not adopted by any subsequent artists, it influenced artists in generations to come to strive towards artistic experimentation. LOQI Jackson Pollock Backpack details:
The artistic experimentation of Jackson Pollock’s paintings reflects the strong influence from the Surrealist psychic automatism present in the works of artists like Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí.
Pollock’s Action Painting also raised from a 1939 Picasso exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
While some heavily criticized his works, other renowned critics like Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg praised Pollock. As an example, Rosenberg stated: “many of the painters were ‘Marxists’; they had been trying to paint Society. Others had been trying to paint art – it amounts to the same thing. The big moment came when it was decided to paint…just to PAINT. The gesture on the canvas was a gesture of liberation, from Value – political, aesthetic, moral.
