Many of Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings started out as figurative paintings such as There Were Seven in Eight, as revealed by his wife. This piece had started out with recognizable images- head, arms and body parts and creatures but Pollock aimed to ‘veil’ the image. You can still see the figures flicker beneath the black lines although his ‘veil’ has left no focal point for the viewer to perceive through. Pollock believed that art could liberate the unconscious mind, this newfound style of painting allowed him to abandon the norm of figurative painting and pursue the externalization of internal emotions and desires. The chaos of this painting shows the plight of an artist struggling to define his role in a new mechanical world.
