"Reflection of the Big Dipper"

Jackson Pollock (i) - Oil (i) - Abstract Expressionism (i)
This painting was exhibited in the Betty Parsons Gallery in 1948 along with six other paintings by Jackson Pollock. Pollock belongs to the abstract expressionist movement that developed in the heart of New York after the war. Borrowing from surrealism, there were two types of abstract expressionists: action painters and colour field painters. In this time period, Pollock was an action painter, who kept his canvas on the floor and danced around, improvising. He transitioned from a much more traditional treatment of colours to a far more radical form popularly known as drip paintings. On top of layers and layers of paint, Pollock splashed wet paint with his dripping enamel on the canvas in order to provide a finishing touch. By this time, he was also experimenting with the usage of other objects upon his canvas such as bottle caps and paint-tube tops. Journalist Tony Mcclelan in an article talks about the black streaks of paint might symbolizes an all-consuming chaos that keeps everything in the flux of destruction and creation.
