Green Silver by Jackson Pollock

This is a premium-quality, ready-to-hang canvas print of Jackson Pollock’s artwork, Green Silver, painted between 1942 and 1947. The painting embodies the artist‘s unique drip technique. Upon arriving in New York in 1930 from the West Coast, Pollock began experimenting with figurative images inspired by American Indian sand painting and Mexican muralism, drawing on his childhood experiences. His emotionally charged works combined abstraction with his figurative subject matter, leading to his breakthrough works in late 1947 and 1950, as represented by Green Silver. This print features Pollock‘s signature drip technique, in which he poured and dripped enamel paints onto canvases and papers to create bold, precise lines.

Jackson Pollock was an iconic American painter and a leader in abstract expressionism. His revolutionary “drip technique“ of pouring and splashing liquid household paint onto a canvas from all directions created an energised, all–over style of painting known as “action painting“. Pollock‘s unique approach to abstraction bewitched certain critics, who admired the directness of his work. However, others were less impressed with the apparently arbitrary effects.
