Synopsis
By the mid 1940s, the art form which Jackson Pollock was
most known for, was the abstract style. By 1947, he was doing
the drip style.
Number 1A - 1948
Around this time Pollock stopped giving his paintings evocative titles and began
instead to number them. His wife, artist Lee Krasner, later explained, "Numbers
are neutral. They make people look at a painting for what it ispure painting."
Alchemy, 1947
