Jackson Pollack: an exhibit of Abstract Expressionism


       
                 
                                   Jackson Pollack      The Key      1946

                   Opening the Door of Your Imagination


             Jackson Pollack    One of the most famous painters when using abstract expressionism, uses violent strokes and markings that really explain what this trend is all about. He believed that when he painted he was not aware of what he was doing, he just let it happen. Action painting is clear here because you can see the different angles the paint brush went and you can almost feel him intensely spreading the paint. Again, in abstract expressionism, color is a big aspect. The colors in this painting help us see how he was feeling at the time when he painted this work of art. To me, it looks as if he was excited or motivates about something in his life. Expression through the freedom of technique is illustrated well in this painting by Jackson Pollock.
