Number 1A
Pollock's drip painting created through action and chance eliminates traditional composition. The all-over surface with no focal point reflects post-war anxiety and freedom. The work explores spontaneity, the unconscious, physical gesture, and the painting process itself. Pollock's method embodies existential freedom and authenticity. The paintings prioritize becoming over being.
