Autumn Rhythm, Pollock

July 4th, 2010

On looking through various works by Jackson Pollock, there is one in particular I keep going back to. This piece for me, express’s energy and movement, yet it seems very controlled with an intentional composition.

I love the colour choice of brown, black and white. I believe these neutral colours allows me primarily to see the fast flowing, varied width strokes, before getting drawn further into the depth of this painting, and at this point I can explore the shapes and negative space that this painting holds.

I think if this painting was painted using more primary colours, the colours would distract me away from seeing the flowing journey of the strokes and not allow me to appreciate the complexity of this painting.

    Abstract paintings are unique and the most creative style of the paintings.
